Music Room West Of Clonterbrook House

The Music Room, located west of Clonterbrook House, is a former shippon dating from the early 18th century, now serving as a music room. It is constructed of red brick in English garden wall bond and features a stone slate roof. The building is single-storey with four truss bays. The entrance, situated in the north gable, consists of a six-panel door set in an ovolo moulded frame with external lining and ogee architraves. Above the door is a shallow hood supported by ogee brackets, which is topped by a blocked pitch hole.

On the east side, there are three pairs of French windows with glazing bars, external ovolo moulds, and narrow hoods on ovolo brackets. These French windows are topped by oeils-de-boeuf windows with radial bars and are framed by two brick pilasters that extend to the eaves. The west side features an outshut with a catslide roof that continues from the main slope, covering a store of no special interest. The sandstone ridge is marked by an open bellcote with a boarded base, arched openings, and a lead pyramid roof topped with a weather vane.

Inside, an internal porch leads to a pair of doors with three raised and fielded panels and a brick staircase on the east side that ascends to the gallery. In the Music Room, plastered pilasters with ogee moulded caps support plaster panelled tie beams, each adorned with a glass chandelier. At the south end of the room, there is a raised dais and a screen of plain Roman Ionic columns that support a moulded beam. Flanking the rear of the dais are four unfluted Roman Doric columns beside two flush doors and a niche containing an urn. A central fireplace on the west wall features ogee architraves and a moulded mantelshelf. The door opening beneath the gallery on the north side is flanked by bookcases, and there is a reeded frieze around the doorcase, which is also framed and topped by panels in gilt mouldings, with similar moulds on the gallery capping.
