Clifford Lodge And Attached Wall And Pier

Clifford Lodge, located in Clifford Chambers, is a house dating from the early 18th century, with alterations and an addition made around 1900. The building is constructed of brick, featuring stucco on the ground floor and pebbledash on the first floor, which is swept out to form a drip mould. It has a steeply pitched hipped tile roof with two T-plan brick stacks. The house has a square plan, with a wing at the rear forming a right angle and a single-storey addition on the left.

The exterior is two storeys high with an attic, presenting a symmetrical three-window range. The corners are accentuated with quoins, and a top cornice continues around the returns. The entrance features a moulded architrave and a 20th-century round hood over a six-fielded-panel door. On the ground floor, there is a window to the left with cross-casement and leaded upper glazing, while a large gabled bay window to the right has transomed glazing arranged in a 1:4:1-light pattern and timbering in the gable. The first floor has three windows, with the outer ones being wider than the centre window, all having sills and 1900 hoods over plate-glass horned sashes. The right return shows some exposed brick on the ground floor with a plat band above, and two blind windows—one with a segmental head and another with a brick flat arch. The first floor has three windows with 16-pane sashes, and the attic features two hipped dormers with cornices and two-light casements. The left return has similar dormers with small-paned casements and a small gabled wing added around 1900.

Inside, the house includes a room on the left with likely early 18th-century panelling, and a staircase with twisted balusters and square foot newels that have applied half-balusters.

Additionally, there is a garden wall extending to the street, which ends in a rusticated ashlar pier featuring a plain plinth and cornice topped with a ball finial.
