Description
No. 8 Clifton Villas is a Jacobeathan style house built around 1855-1860. It is two stories high with an attic and constructed from roughly dressed sandstone "bricks." The building features quoins and a weathered string course. At the center, there are two gabled breaks with finials on the kneelers and saddlestones. The attic has arrow slit lights, while the first floor showcases mullioned-transomed casement windows with drip moulds, flanking a three-light central window with ashlar surrounds. The ground floor has canted mullioned-transomed bay windows topped with pent roofs. The entrance features a stilted flat arched doorway with sidelights. Each side elevation includes a similar gabled break with a three-light mullioned window with a drip mould on the ground floor and a rectangular mullioned bay window to the left. The steeply pitched slate roofs are adorned with tall chimneys arranged in clusters. This house is part of a cul-de-sac of villas set in large, well-wooded gardens.
