Cliff House Including Annex

Cliff House, including its annex, is a two-storey rectangular main house with a single-storey, flat-roofed annex attached to the northeast. Built in a theatrical Georgian style, the house features rendered elevations, a hipped slate roof, and deep eaves. The main house has symmetrical, three-bay elevations, with the eastern and western sides being longer; the western elevation serves as the entrance front. This entrance features a central part-glazed door flanked by 12-pane sash windows, all covered by a Regency-style open iron verandah or porch, which has a sloped metal lean-to roof and decorative iron supports. On either side of the porch are smaller 6-pane outer windows. The upper floor has three 6-pane windows, with the central window accompanied by external wooden shutters. The windows to the right of the entrance on both floors are blind, designed solely for symmetry. The northern elevation showcases trompe l'oeil windows, featuring three tall arched windows on the ground floor with oval oculi above, the central window adorned with flanking swags. This elevation also includes raised plaster architraves and keys, with applied cartouches at the tops of the ground floor arches. The southern elevation has twelve-pane sash windows and a balcony with a decorative iron balustrade at the centre of the first floor.

The annex has a screen wall facing west, concealing its flat roof. It features a wide central entrance with a classical surround and entablature, topped with central and flanking finials, and part-glazed doors. Narrow 6-pane vertical rectangular windows are located on either side of the entrance.
