Description
Clipston House is an early 19th-century house constructed of stucco with a slate roof. It features a central block with a three-unit plan, standing two storeys tall and comprising a five-window range. The three central windows project forward in a large semi-circular bow topped with a conical roof. Throughout the house, sash windows are adorned with moulded and eared architraves. The shallow hipped roof is detailed with a modillion cornice and has stuccoed stacks at both the ridge and eaves. The building has rusticated quoins.
To the left and right, there are two-bay wings that are likely from the later 19th century, also stuccoed and featuring sash windows beneath gabled roofs. At the junction of the left wing and the main house, there is a stuccoed porch with a moulded architrave and pilasters that support an entablature with a dentilled moulded cornice. The walls of the porch are rusticated. The rear elevation mirrors the front with a similar semi-circular bay.
Inside, the ground floor centre room boasts central double doors with a moulded architrave and pediment, flanked by arched recesses containing glazed doors. The lower sashes of the windows in this room extend into the wall space above. Similar windows are found in the centre room at the rear. On the first floor, the room above features extensive built-in 19th-century wardrobes and a matching fire surround.
