Description
Clermont Hall is a mansion built in 1812 and later, designed by William Pilkington. The building has been much restored and features rendered brick that is scored to imitate ashlar, topped with a slate roof. It is styled as an Italianate villa and consists of two storeys with a basement.
The entrance facade has 13 bays of sash windows, seven of which are blind yet glazed. There are slightly advanced lateral wings and a canted centre with three bays that includes a portico, which is segmental in plan and supported by four Doric columns. These columns are unfluted, except for the sections forming part of the capitals, resembling the style of the Temple of Apollo on the island of Delos. On either side of the later front door are semicircular headed windows with radiating glazing bars. The facade is topped with a moulded cornice and a low parapet.
The garden facade mirrors the entrance in plan, featuring eight bays with ground floor windows that are recessed within enclosing arches. It includes two lateral tripartite windows that are semi-circular headed with margin lights around the arches. The canted centre has three bays that were originally single storeyed and featured a balustraded balcony and pediment. The building has four axial stacks.
