Description
Clarence House is a large three-bay, three-storey house with a slate gabled roof, which is missing its former end chimneys. The building features deep flat eaves and wavy bargeboards with pendants on both gables. It is finished in painted, lined stucco and has hornless sash windows: nine panes on the second floor and twelve panes on the first and ground floors. The central front doorway is arched and contains a six-panelled door, with four sunk panels and two raised panels, topped by a radiating-bar fanlight.
On the left side, facing Queensway, the plaster has been removed to reveal rubble stone walling, with brick voussoirs and jambs around the windows. There are two bays of windows, one on each side, and a 20th-century door with a rectangular overlight on the ground floor to the left. The right side is finished in roughcast stone. The rear elevation also features roughcast stone, deep eaves, a door to the right, and signs of a former lean-to. There is a small 20th-century window on the ground floor to the left, with nine-pane windows on the left and right of the second floor, and a central fixed nine-pane window on the first floor.
The pavement in front is laid with cobbles. The interior has not been inspected.
