Clough House

Clough House is a house dating to 1654, with possible rebuilding in the mid-18th century. It is constructed of coursed squared gritstone with a purple slate roof. The house is two storeys high and has a three-bay facade, suggesting two rooms in depth. A central half-glazed door is topped by a large, shallow Tudor-arched lintel bearing the inscription 'R L 1654' in relief, with a chamfer cut to a scallop shape. Recessed-chamfered mullion windows are present throughout; a six-light window is on the left, a five-light window on the right on each floor, and a two-light window above the door. A dripmould runs along the first-floor window line, and a hoodmould covers the central first-floor window. The gables have ashlar copings and shaped kneelers, with corniced stacks at the ends. An attached bay to the left is not of architectural significance. The interior has not been inspected. This property holds group value as an example of a 17th-century house with later alterations.
