Clifton House

Clifton House is a substantial villa built around 1855-1860. It stands two storeys high and is constructed of ashlar sandstone, featuring chamfered quoins at the breaks in elevation on either side of the center. The building has a plinth, a sill band, and modillion brackets on the bed mould leading to a moulded eaves cornice, topped with a hipped slate roof and tall corniced chimneys.

On the first floor, there are three windows set in architrave surrounds with plain narrow aprons. The ground floor includes a pilastered canted bay window. The central entrance features a porch screen with two pairs of Doric columns and an entablature with consoles above each column, leading up to a cornice. Above this, there is a balustrade with a linked circle pattern and anthemion capped dies.

The east return front has five windows and a later link to a detached billiard room, which features a tripartite window with divides capped by consoles to the cornice and grooved quoin pilasters rising to a bracketed eaves cornice. The west front also has five windows, with bracketed ashlar balconette bases on the first floor, and the ground floor architrave surrounds extend down to include riser panels. Clifton House is part of a cul-de-sac of villas set in well-wooded gardens.
