Description
Claremont House is a 18th-century building with a stucco front and a painted natural slate roof, featuring rendered stacks. It has a double depth plan with the entrance located to the right of center and a wing extending to the left. The house stands three storeys tall and has four windows. The ground floor is not symmetrical, featuring only two windows; the doorway is positioned beneath the third window above. The flanking windows are larger 8 over 8 pane sashes, with the left one situated between the first two windows above and the right one located under the fourth window. The entrance consists of a six-panelled door that is partially glazed, topped by a simple broken pediment supported on console brackets, and surrounded by a panelled architrave. The first-floor windows are plain 6 over 6 pane sashes, while the second-floor windows have a 3 over 6 configuration, with the far left and right windows having been restored since the building was listed in 1974. The plain roof is mostly concealed from view by the street and features a large rendered stack on each gable.
The rear elevation is roughcast rendered and includes a central projection for the staircase. The staircase features a mullion-and-transom window with coloured glass in the top lights, and another similar window is located at the upper left. There is a red brick wing that projects to the right.
Inside, there is a central hall with a staircase that rises in short flights around a solid core at the back. Although the balusters are missing, the handrail remains intact. Some plain beams are revealed, and there is a Victorian floral water closet. The plaster ceiling on the upper floor has coving and features two large and six small roundels. The roof is constructed with upper cruck type principals and trenched purlins, which are older in character and are likely also from the early 18th century.
