Clanville House

Clanville House is a large house dating back to the early 18th century, with later additions from the early and mid-19th century and minor 20th-century alterations to each side. The front (east) of the house is wide and symmetrical, arranged over two storeys and with an attic, and features four windows. It has a hipped roof with three dormers, each containing casements, and a wood moulded eaves cornice with modillions. The walls are of red brick in a header bond pattern, with cambered arches above the openings featuring projecting stone keys. A dropped plinth is present, with a rendered niche framed in red brick above the central doorway, also with stone keys, impost and base blocks. The windows are sash windows with thick glazing bars, set in exposed frames. The doorway has a plain frame with a cambered head, enclosing a fanlight, a moulded pediment hood supported by carved brackets, a flat soffit containing a panel, and a four-panelled door. A single-storeyed wing of brick and tile was added in the 20th century to the north side, and a two-storeyed wing with a flat roof to the south. At the rear of the house is a two-storey block from the early 19th century, nearly symmetrical with three windows, a hipped tile roof, walls of horizontal flint panels, brick dentil eaves, quoins, a first-floor band, flat arches to the ground-floor openings, and a plinth. The ground floor has windows in reveals and a wide glazed door. Further rear extensions include a narrower mid-19th century section of two storeys and an attic, with one window, a hipped roof, walls in stretcher bond, Victorian sash windows and a rectangular bay. A 20th-century two-storeyed semi-circular projection is situated at the north end of the rear of the house. Inside, the entrance hall has dado panelling, a fine staircase, a chimney piece, and panelled doors set within architraves.
