Cleeve View House

Cleeve View House is a villa that has been converted into flats, built between 1836 and 1837 by bricklayers John Quarrell and Richard Wright. The building is constructed of brick and covered in stucco, topped with a slate roof, stucco stacks, and features an iron verandah. It has a double-depth plan with a side stairway and a service range at the rear.

The exterior consists of three storeys above a basement and attics in the gables, with three windows on the first floor. Notable stucco detailing includes horizontal rustication on the ground floor, which is accentuated by voussoirs over the openings. The windows are set in cambered arched recesses, and there is a similar recess at the entrance. The cornice and low parapet have copings, and the first and second floors feature 6/6 sash windows, with the first-floor windows being taller. The ground floor has 1/1 sash windows, while the second floor has windows with blind boxes. The basement includes an 8/8 sash window and a glazed door.

The entrance is located on the right side, accessed by a flight of renewed steps leading to a recessed door with four fielded panels, flanked by sidelights and an overlight with decorative glazing bars. There are two end stacks with copings at each end, and the parapet rises towards these stacks. The left gable features a round-headed fixed light.

The interior has not been inspected. A notable feature is the first-floor continuous verandah, which showcases a quatrefoil and lozenge motif on the balcony and uprights. Historically, the house was built as part of the development of the area initiated by Joseph Pitt between 1825 and 1842.
