Description

The Cliff Hotel, located at 10, 11, and 12 Falconer's Road, is a building dating from around 1840 to 1850. It is a stuccoed block that has fronts facing both Huntriss Row and Falconer's Square. Originally, it consisted of separate properties and stands three stories tall, featuring bowed corners at each end of the block, with the corner on Huntriss Row set back. The ground floor has a rusticated finish and an entablature over part of it.

The building is adorned with a moulded main cornice, which has brackets around the corners, and a parapet. There are string courses present as well. The upper floors display shallow superimposed segmental tripartite windows that alternate with single sash windows, most of which still have their glazing bars intact. The windows at the inset bowed corner on Huntriss Row are separated by Corinthian pilasters, and the windows on the Huntriss Row front are also flanked by Corinthian pilasters, each topped with cornices above the bows.

On the west front facing Falconer's Square, there is a central window and door flanked by panels, creating a three-bay effect. The ground floor partly serves as a public house front, featuring broad fluted pilasters beside the doors. The listed buildings along Falconer's Road and Nos 3 to 9 Falconer's Square form a cohesive group.
