Brunswick House Clarence House

Brunswick House and Clarence House are a pair of early to mid 19th century houses located on the east side of The Beach. They are built under one roof, with Brunswick House (No 9) featuring two storeys plus a basement, while Clarence House (No 10) has two storeys. The exterior is cement rendered and colourwashed, topped with a hipped slate roof and a moulded eaves cornice. There are brick chimney stacks on the left and right sides, as well as two additional stacks in the centre of the roof. The front is divided by plain pilasters and has six windows, three for each property. No 9 has modern casement windows, while No 10 retains its original sash windows with plain reveals, elongated to the ground floor, and thin glazing bars.

The whole house has a projecting plinth, and No 9 features an elliptical archway set in the plinth on the left side of the basement. The entrance to No 9 is accessed by a flight of stone steps with plain wrought-iron railings, leading to a square-headed doorway with a plain architrave surround and a small hard supported by large volutes above. The door is an 8-panel design with a rectangular fanlight that has coloured glazing. The entrance to No 10 is also reached by stone steps with plain wrought-iron railings, leading to a round-headed doorway with one recessed order to the arch. This entrance features a 6-panel door and a semi-circular fanlight with Y-tracery.

Brunswick House and Clarence House, along with Nos 2 to 10 (consecutive) and No 13, form a group with Nos 11 and 12, which are of local interest.
