Notcliffe House

Notcliffe House is a farmhouse dating from the 18th century, with alterations in the early 19th century, the third quarter of the 19th century, and minor changes in the 20th century. The front is rendered smooth, mimicking ashlar over brickwork, while the rear is brick in various bonds. The roof is tiled, with slate covering the music room. It is a four-window, single-room-deep front with three storeys, and includes a single-storey, single-room extension to the left front. A two-and-a-half-storey rear wing forms an ‘L’ shape to the main front, with a further two-storey wing returning at the back.

The front features Tuscan pilasters, a plinth, and a four-pane sash window to the left. A single-storey, flat-roofed Tuscan porch with painted wooden columns and pilasters sits to the right, sheltering a six-panel door with a rectangular light above and marginal lights. There are two four-pane sash windows with moulded surrounds; the originals were French doors, and the outline of a verandah roof remains. A late 20th-century greenhouse lean-to replaces an earlier structure. Above a plain string course are four windows similar to the ground floor, followed by another plain string course and four six-pane sashes with a moulded cornice and plain parapet. Parapet gables and gable chimneys are present. The left-hand music room slightly projects, mirroring the front's pilaster detailing and with paired two-pane sashes and a cornice supported by scroll brackets (the right bracket is missing). A moulded cornice and plain parapet conceal a hipped roof, and a large brick chimney rises from the rear with a moulded stone cap.

Inside, the ground floor front has six-panel doors with fluted architraves. The music room features panelled shutters and a moulded cornice. The house likely began as an 18th-century brick structure, altered in the early 19th century. The roof level was raised, either then or later in the 19th century. The front was rendered, and ground-floor decorative plasterwork was reformed, with the music room added at this time. The building is said to contain remains of an earlier structure.
