Cleuch Cottage

Cleuch Cottage is a 2-storey and basement Baronial lodge house, built in 1917 by Henry E Clifford. It features a single storey and attic section and is situated on sloping ground. The building has coursed, rock-dressed masonry at the ground level, squared and snecked bull-faced sandstone on the first floor and the tower, with ashlar dressings and a base course. The rear is harled. A corbel course separates the floors and supports the slightly jettied first floor.

The southwest (principal) elevation has three bays. At the center, there is a circular entrance stair tower that projects forward, with a door on the left side in an advanced ashlar surround featuring saw-tooth coping and a roll-moulded, keystoned door surround that includes the date and carved initials. There is an under-stair window at the front and a tall, narrow landing window above. To the right, a crow-stepped gable has a window on each floor and a carved heraldic panel in the gablehead. The left bay has a window at the ground level near the entrance and a blank wallhead at the attic above.

The northeast (rear) elevation features a gabled projection to the left and a lean-to that masks the bay to the right at ground level, with irregular fenestration. The southeast elevation has a window off-centre to the left at ground level and two first-floor windows under the eaves, flanking a corbelled chimney breast of a wallhead stack above. The northwest elevation is a blank gable.

The windows on the front and side are small-pane metal casements and top-hopper windows, while the rear has horizontal-pane timber casements. The tower has a conical roof covered with grey slates and topped with a lead ball finial. The main roof is covered with large purple slates, featuring glazed ridge tiles and ashlar gablehead stacks. The crow-stepped gable has beak skewputts, and the eaves are overhanging with exposed rafters.

The interior was not seen in 1995. The property is enclosed by a rubble boundary wall with semi-circular coping that shields the falling ground, and there is a timber pedestrian gate.
