Description
Clifton House is a three-storey building with a slate roof and rough-cast render, featuring large rendered chimneys at both ends. The façade is four windows wide, arranged in a mirrored pair with doors placed centrally. The second floor has four hornless sashes with nine panes each, while the first floor has four hornless sashes with twelve panes each. The ground floor includes two twelve-pane sashes, and all windows are set on stone sills. The doorways feature panelled doors, some of which have been glazed. At the rear, there is a later extension, with brick on the west side and rendered over on the east side. The western part of the house retains its original first and second floor windows, while the eastern section has mostly original openings.
