Description
No. 40 Clifton is a house dating from the early 19th century. It is built of brick with painted stone dressings and has a pantiled roof. The building stands three storeys high, plus an attic, and features three bays. The facade includes a stone plinth, a sill band at the first floor, and a mutuled gutter cornice. The windows are glazing bar sashes set beneath rubbed brick flat arches, while the ground-floor window and door arches are semicircular. The attic is adorned with two flat-roofed dormers.
The doorway, located in the right-hand bay, is recessed and has flush-panelled reveals. The steps leading to the door are partly recessed and partly project onto the pavement. The door itself has two glazed panels above two plain panels with moulded borders, and there is a fanlight above it. The house features chimneys on both the left and right sides.
Inside, the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England (RCHM) records that there are good Regency fittings and a staircase.
