Description
Cliff House is a house built in the early 19th century, around 1820, using local stone pebbledash that is rendered and colourwashed, with stone dressings that are mostly painted. It features a hipped Welsh slate roof behind parapets and has end chimney stacks with moulded caps, one made of brick and the other of stone. The main house has three storeys and three bays, with a plinth, plain pilasters, an eaves cornice, and a shallow plain parapet. The ground and first floors have 16-pane sash windows with reeled architrave surrounds, while the second floor has 12-pane sashes. A central projecting stone porch is supported by fluted Doric columns and features a non-classical castellated entablature, with margined glazed infill panels and part glazed doors.
To the south, there is a two-storey extension with an attic that has four bays and a Mansard roof. To the north, there is a single-storey flat-roofed caretaker's bungalow, both of which are excluded from the listing. The interior retains original features such as the staircase, doors, door cases, and window shutters, all in the Regency style. The house was built by Mr. Thomas Hannam on the site of an earlier house, which is now part of Sexey's School.
