Description
Clothall House is a small country house, originally built around 1720 as the Rectory for Reverend J.Savage. The brick facade was re-faced in the late 18th century and includes a parapet and a hipped roof covered in plain tiles. There are five sash windows on each elevation, with two storeys and attics.
The front, or northwest side, features a central open-pedimented doorcase with a recessed panelled door set within an arch. Narrow flanking sash windows are present, along with a three-light Venetian sash window on the upper floor. Most of the outer sash windows are blocked, except for the one on the ground floor to the right. Chimney stacks are located behind the parapet, both at the front and rear.
The rear elevation has a central square bay with a moulded wooden cornice. This bay, likely from the early 18th century, was reportedly used by Reverend Savage for writing sermons. The southwest elevation displays a pedimented Doric doorcase, above which is a tall arched stair window. A mid-19th century single-storey service wing with a low-pitched slate roof is attached to the left.
