Cliffe Cottage

Cliffe Cottage is an early 18th-century house, originally divided into two dwellings, with alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries. The house is built of brick in an English garden wall bond. It has a ridged concrete roof tiled roof and brick chimney stacks. The main structure is two storeys and three bays wide. A rendered plinth runs along the front. Four ground-floor openings are set beneath rubbed-brick flat arches; the central pair contain doorways - a fielded 6-panel door on the right, and a partly-blocked doorway containing a 6-pane sash window on the left. Ten-pane windows, with horizontally-sliding 6-pane sections, are in enlarged openings at each end. Above, two similar 20-pane windows cut into stepped eaves courses. The steeply-pitched roof has raised verges and corbelled-out brick kneelers. The right-hand stack has been truncated, while the left-hand stack has been rebuilt. Later 20th-century additions to the rear are not considered to be of particular interest.
