Description
Cliff Grange is a house built in the late 18th century, with 19th and 20th-century extensions. The front is made of herringbone-tooled sandstone on a plinth, while the sides and rear are squared sandstone. It has a slate roof with brick stacks. The house has a central-stairhall plan, is one room deep, and features an outshut and a rear service wing.
The front of the house is three stories high with three windows. The central door consists of four raised and fielded panels above a diagonal cross panel, topped with a radial fanlight. It is sheltered by an open-pedimented doorhood supported by scrolled brackets and shaped panelled jambs. On either side of the door are full-height canted bays with 16-pane sash windows on the ground floor. The first-floor windows also have 16-pane sashes, while the second floor features unequal 12-pane sashes. The windows above the door have tripartite lintels, and all windows have painted stone sills. The gables are coped with plain kneelers, and there are end stacks.
At the rear, there is a projecting 1½-storey bay in the center with a Gothick-glazed staircase window beneath a round arch. The service wing has flat-arched 16-pane sashes. Inside, there is an open-string, dog-leg staircase with stick balusters, a moulded handrail that is wreathed at the foot around a turned fluted newel, and shaped tread ends. The window and door recesses are panelled, with panelled shutters on the front windows. Both ground-floor front rooms have dado panelling and late 18th-century fireplaces. The first-floor room on the left and the second-floor room on the right have surviving basket grates. Throughout the front part of the house, doors are made of six raised and fielded panels, some featuring L and butterfly hinges.
