Clonterbrook House

Clonterbrook House is a house built in 1697, as indicated on the front door head, with later alterations. It is constructed of brown brick in English garden wall bond and features a stone slate roof. The building has two storeys and an attic, with five bays. It has a projecting brick plinth and a toothed string course at the first floor. The entrance consists of a pair of three-panel doors with egg and dart panel beads, set in a heavy ogee moulded dowelled frame with an ogee moulded external architrave. Above the doors is a flat narrow hood, inscribed with the initials I.K.L. and the date, supported by ogee moulding. The windows are restored timber cross windows with 20th-century metal lights and rectangular leaded glazing. A Royal Insurance Plate is located over the central window on the first floor. The eaves display heavy rafter feet, and the gables are topped with sandstone copings and ball finials. The chimney stacks are slightly set in from the gables. There are also 20th-century single-storey outshuts with stone slate roofs that nearly span the full width of the gables, featuring projecting brick gable bands at the eaves and above the attic windows.

Inside, there is an oak window with leaded glazing and an ogee moulded door frame in the original east gable-end. The interior includes two face-carved ovolo moulded inglenook beams and open straight flues, as well as ovolo-moulded beams on the first floor. The Drawing Room features 19th-century oak panelling and a stone slab floor. Timber framing is exposed in the staircase walls, which also have a linenfold panelled frieze. The oak dogleg staircase has square newels, a heavy moulded handrail, and turned balusters. On the first floor, there are timbers in the staircase walls, six-panel doors, and ovolo moulded beams. The attic contains wide boarded doors on strap hinges located between the truss tie beams and collars. Short flights of steps lead from the attic floor level over the truss tie beams and down the other side. The original trusses and purlins, which have wind braces, are also preserved.
