Description
Encliffe is a later 19th-century, two-storey, three-bay house designed in a Tudor style with an irregular plan. The exterior features painted render and includes a deep base course, hoodmoulds over uncanted windows, and cill brackets supporting the upper windows.
The southeast elevation, which serves as the entrance, has steps leading to a central entrance with a timber and glass door topped by a four-centred arched fanlight. Above this, there is a single four-centred arched window on the first floor. To the right, there is regular fenestration in the gabled bay, while the left side features a canted window at the ground level of the advanced gabled bay, with a single window above and a pierced trefoil in the gablehead.
On the northeast side, the elevation is three bays wide. It has single windows at both the ground and first floors in the recessed central bay, with a four-centred arch above the first-floor window. The advanced flanking gabled bays have canted windows at ground level, with a castellated parapet on the right bay. There are also single windows at the first floor and pierced trefoils in the gableheads.
The northwest elevation is four bays with a gabled bay on the outer right. It features regular fenestration on both floors, with a cill bracket beneath the ground floor window on the outer left.
The southwest elevation is also three bays wide and includes a gabled entrance porch to the left, with a timber door and bipartite windows on both sides. There is a round-arched leaded window on the first floor, alongside a single narrow window at ground level and two single narrow windows on the first floor in the outer left bay. The right bay contains two single narrow windows at both the ground and first floors.
The house has modern tilting windows and a grey slate roof, with corniced ridge stacks topped with castellated cans.
The interior was not seen in 1997.
The property is enclosed by a brick boundary wall at the rear, with two-leaf iron gates leading to the driveway. There is a single-storey outhouse with an attic to the south of the house, constructed of painted brick and featuring boarded timber doors with four-centred arched fanlights, a loading bay in the attic, and decorative barge boards.
