Cleave House And Attached Boundary Wall

Cleave House and the attached boundary wall are a pair of houses built in 1893 by Watson Fothergill in Nottingham. The houses are constructed of red brick, featuring a timber-framed first floor with brick nogging, ashlar dressings, and roofs that are gabled and hipped with plain tiles. They have three coped brick side wall stacks and rise two storeys plus attics, consisting of four bays. The windows are primarily plain sashes.

The front of the houses is balanced and flanked by two-storey canted bay windows, each with four windows. The right bay window has a canted roof, while the smaller left bay window features a pent roof on the ground floor and an octagonal main roof. A large side wall stack is located at the return angle. In the centre, there is a pent roofed verandah that covers two triple sashes, with two similar windows above it, and a hipped dormer above that.

The right return facing Wiverton Road has a higher central bay with a hipped roof and a gabled bay to the right. There is a central pent roofed wooden porch with three traceried windows, which is integrated with the boundary wall. The left return facing Third Avenue is similar in design. The boundary wall is made of rock-faced stone with rubble coping and runs across the front and both returns, featuring three small gateways.
