Description

Undercliffe House is a house built around 1860-1870 in a neo-Gothic style. It features yellow brick with red brick bands on the ground floor and decorative dressings. There is a moulded string-course and a cogged brick cornice beneath the slate roofs. The building has finials on the half-hips over the bays, dormers, and tower. Its plan is highly irregular, with a tower positioned to the left at the angle between two-storey bays that face west and north.

To the right, there is a later 20th-century weatherboarded extension built on a brick and flint ground floor, topped with a steep French pavilion-type roof. The house has two storeys, with the tower rising to three storeys.

Prominent features on the front include an octagonal porch with a pyramidal cap, which is set before a canted bay located far back to the left, topped with a conical cap. The three faces above this bay are treated with half-hipped semi-dormers. Forward and to the right is a tall square tower with a banded ground floor, a single round window topped by double round windows above, and an arched window in the third stage below a steep Sompting cap. Further to the right is another canted bay treated similarly. There is a single arched window on the ground floor to the right, with a semi-dormer above it, and a glazed door to the left. The 20th-century extension to the right features a gabled semi-dormer, all designed in a Post-Modern style. All windows have round-arched heads and pointed-arched gauging in red and yellow brick stripes, complete with moulded impost bands.
