Description

Clentrie House is an early 19th-century, two-storey and attic, three-bay classical house with a rectangular plan. It features single-storey offices that project to the rear. The exterior is constructed of large, tightly jointed ashlar blocks with painted harl and stone margins on the sides and rear. The house has an eaves cornice and a blocking course, along with an Ionic-columned doorpiece, moulded architraves, and cornices.

On the south elevation, the central bay at ground level has a doorpiece with fluted columns and Ionic capitals that support an entablature featuring a guilloche-carved frieze and a blocking course. There is a two-leaf panelled timber door with a margined fanlight, and corniced architraved windows in the flanking bays, with regular fenestration on the first floor.

The west elevation has two windows at ground level and a dominant wallhead stack in the centre. There is an additional window in the centre of the single-storey bay on the outer left.

On the east elevation, there are two windows at ground level and another window to the right on the first floor, with a wallhead stack in the centre. A slightly set-back single-storey bay on the outer right also has a window.

The north elevation features single-storey bays projecting to the right and left of centre, each with a window, and a door in the link bay. There is a recessed face with a stair window in the centre and another window to the outer right on the first floor.

The windows are timber sash and case with a 12-pane glazing pattern. The roof is slated and piended, with coped ashlar and cement render wallhead stacks with cans.

Inside, the house has panelled shutters, a panelled dado on the ground floor east, and a staircase with decorative cast-iron balusters.
