Description
The forecourt walls and balustrading at Cliff House are low decorative features made up of sections of turned reconstituted stone balusters, with rendered piers that serve as divisions. They have a moulded capping. To the north of the main building, there is a rendered screen wall that includes three round-arched openings and similar balustrades. A short section of balustrading marks a terrace immediately north of the house, while a larger cliff-top terrace to the south is also defined by balustrading.
