Barley Cliff And Flanking Walls

Barley Cliff is a former rectory, later converted into a house, dating from 1826. It was altered in the 19th century. The house is constructed of red brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with slate roofs and lead behind the parapet, and features three wall stacks. It is gabled and has two storeys plus a garret, with a three-bay front that includes a raked parapet, stone cappings, and four ball finials. The central bay is recessed and features a wide semi-circular head, recessed side sections, and end pilasters. A gable band runs along the top of the front elevation. The central doorway is an eight-panel design with a traceried fanlight within a recessed semi-circular head. It is sheltered by a 19th-century latticed, flat-roofed porch, flanked by single glazing bar sash windows. The first floor has three similar windows, and a smaller matching sash in the gable. All windows have cambered, splayed brick lintels. Curved, lower flanking walls run to either side, ramping down to end piers; the right-hand wall has a small glazing bar sash window. The interior retains a stick baluster staircase, and the stair hall contains flat segmental archways. Original shutters are present in one room.
