Cliff House

Cliff House is an early 19th-century house located on Cliff Lane in the parish of Curbar. It is constructed from ashlar gritstone with ashlar dressings and features quoins, an eaves cornice with a shallow plain parapet above, and a hipped roof with ashlar side and end wall stacks, covered with concrete tiles. The house has three storeys and three bays, with stacked sash frames that diminish in height from the ground to the second floor. Plain band courses link the cills, with the ground floor cill stepping down around the deeper openings. The central doorway is framed by a moulded architrave and a shallow bracketed hood, featuring a four-panelled door with the upper two panes glazed. The doorway is enclosed by a square open porch supported by Tuscan columns, which hold up a moulded projecting cornice and an open parapet with a balustrade.
