Clifton Lodge

Clifton Lodge is a house, now functioning as a restaurant, built around 1820-1830. It features an ashlar exterior over brick, topped with a hipped slate roof and brick chimney stacks. The building has wrought-iron window guards and railings.

The structure is two storeys high with three first-floor windows. There is a two-storey single-window section set back on the right, where the ground floor projects forward, and a single-storey entrance bay on the left. The ashlar detailing includes a plinth with pilasters at the ends and between the windows. It has 6/6 sash windows throughout, set in plain reveals with sills, and the ground-floor windows are topped with round-arched recesses. A low parapet is present on the right range.

The entrance, located on the left, is in a round-arched opening with imposts. It features steps leading to a 20th-century part-glazed door framed by a moulded architrave and a fanlight with glazing bars. The rear of the building retains 6/6 and 2/2 horizontal-pane sashes.

Notable features include elliptical balconies on the first floor with alternating sticks and lattice panels, as well as boot scrapers with an anthemion motif at the steps. The facade is complete with good-quality ironwork. Clifton Lodge occupies a significant corner site at the junction of North Place and St Margaret's Terrace.
