Kings Cliffe House

Kings Cliffe House is a house located on West Street in Kings Cliffe. It was originally built in the mid-18th century and underwent remodeling and extensions in the early and late 19th century. The building is constructed from squared coursed limestone and features a Collyweston slate roof. Originally designed with a two-unit plan and a central hall, it now has an irregular L-shape. The house has two storeys with an attic and a five-window range of leaded casements on the first floor. The central three windows are set under stone lintels with keyblocks, while the window on the far left is beneath a wooden lintel.

On the ground floor, there are two canted bay windows with flat roofs in the center, along with a casement window to the far left. To the far right, there is a two-storey late 19th-century canted bay window topped with a conical roof. The central entrance features a six-panel door beneath a stone lintel. The house has ashlar gable parapets and kneelers on the right side, as well as ashlar stacks at the ridge and end. A one-bay extension from the 19th century is located on the left, which includes a casement window with leaded lights under shallow stone arches. The central three bays show straight joints that indicate the original extent of the 18th-century house.

The rear elevation has some leaded casements beneath wooden lintels on the right and a late 19th-century gabled ring to the left of center. Inside, there is an early 19th-century staircase with a stick balustrade leading to the upper landing, and an arch-headed wall cupboard with panelled doors in the hall. In the room to the far right, there is a late 19th-century carved wooden fire surround by local woodcarver J. J. Bailey.
