Description

Clophill House is a house dating largely from the later 18th century, though likely incorporating an earlier building. An additional block adjoins to the east. The house is built of red brick, with decorative flared headers on the rear and east elevations, and has clay tile roofs. The main block is two stories high and of a double pile plan, with a two-span roof. The east block is of one story and attics, forming an L-shaped plan overall.

The front facade has five window bays, with brick bands at the first-floor level and below the cornice. A stone-coped parapet, added in the early 19th century, runs along the top, and is surmounted by stone urns and a pineapple. All the windows are sashed with glazing bars, set within segmental brick arches. To the right is a slightly recessed block, also from the early 19th century, with a single light on the ground floor and blind windows above. Red brick stacks are located at both gable ends.

The front door is within the east block and is a six-panelled door within a moulded architrave, topped with a hood supported on scroll brackets. The east block features a variety of casement windows. Inside the main block, original features include a staircase with three turned balusters per tread and one panelled room to the rear.
