Cliff Cottages Cliff House

Cliff House and No. 1 Cliff Cottages are a house, originally two dwellings, dating to the late 16th or early 17th century, with a facade altered in the early to mid-19th century. The structure is timber-framed with plaster infilling to the right of the stack, and red brick in a Flemish bond pattern below and to the left of the stack. The roof is covered with plain tiles. The building has two storeys and a rendered plinth. The section to the right of the stack is a single timber-framed bay, close-studded, with a jetty to the front and gabled roof. A slender projecting brick stack sits to the left, and a ridge stack is immediately to the left of the right-end bay. The fenestration is irregular, featuring three three-light casement windows; two to the left section, and one to the right. Segmental heads are above the ground-floor windows on the left side. A boarded door with a segmental head leads to the Cliff Cottages, and a panelled door with a segmental head is located under the stack. A 20th-century door is present at the rear of the right gable end, also providing access to Cliff House. A short rear return wing extends to the left with rendered elevations, a brick gable end, lower eaves, and a half-hipped roof. The interior of the right-end bay was inspected and reveals exposed timber framing. Roll-moulded and axial beams, some ovolo-moulded, are visible on the ground floor, while an ovolo-moulded axial beam is on the first floor. A fireplace with a wooden bressumer is present. The left side of the stack is reportedly a stone fireplace.
