Clifton Lodge And Attached Railings

Clifton Lodge and an attached carriage house, now a house and office, were built around 1834-1838, with later additions and alterations. The building is constructed of brick with painted stucco facades, with a Welsh slate roof, a lead roof to the porch, and cast-iron porch, verandahs, and railings. It is in a Neo-Tudor style.

The main two-storey range with an attic and basement has two bays, the left bay slightly recessed, and the right bay with a gable end facing the street, along with a single-storey entrance bay to the right. There is a lower two-storey, single-bay range to the left, connected by a corridor. The house has quoins to all corners. The upper floor has two windows, a band, and 1/1 sash windows with chamfered surrounds and hoodmoulds, featuring decorative blind boxes.

The ground floor entrance features two roll-edged steps leading to a porch with slender columns and a tent roof. The porch contains a three-panel door, with the upper two panels having Gothic tracery to the heads, four-pane side-lights (the upper two also with Gothic glazing), and a four-centred arched overlight with decorative glazing. An embattled parapet with a quatrefoil motif sits above and behind the porch. The ground floor also has 1/1 sash windows, individual verandahs with four-centred arched balustrades, and decorative barge-boards. The front gable's attic has a two-pane casement with an overlight set within a pointed-arched, chamfered surround with a hoodmould and foliate stops. Decorative barge-boards are present, and side stacks are topped with a cornice. The basement has 8/8 sash windows and a glazed entrance.

The carriage house has a gable end facing the street and quoins. A central segmental-arched carriage opening, now containing a plate-glass window, is present. The first floor has a 6/6 sash window with a chamfered sill and hoodmould. The interior of the building was not inspected.

The property has lancet area railings. Leam Terrace was laid out between 1828 and 1836, and development on both sides of Willes Road was almost complete by 1841.
