Corkhill House

Detached three-bay three-storey house, built c.1900, with return and outbuilding to north-east. Situated in its own grounds. Pitched slate roofs with roughcast rendered chimneystacks. Timber bargeboards to gables and cast-iron rainwater goods. Roughcast rendered walls. Timber sash windows with tooled limestone sills. Diamond-shaped opening to south gable. Modern canted bay window to southern elevation. Square-headed door opening with glazed timber panelled door recessed within square-headed porch with stylized brackets supporting frieze and cornice. Tooled limestone steps and tiled entranceway. Roughcast rendered outbuilding with pitched slate roof and timber battened double door.

Corkhill House is a fine structure situated within its own private ground, and accessed via a winding driveway. The building, built near the turn of the twentieth century, retains all its character and charm from its unusual three-over-three timber sash windows, its entranceway with stylized door surround with rendered brackets echoing the designs of the past yet with a definite modern flair, such as the diamond light seen in the pediment of the gable and the finely-worked iron gates found within the grounds. It is without doubt that Corkhill House makes a positive addition to the architectural heritage of Clara.
