679/0/10333 WAKEFIELD ROAD 24-MAY-05 Lightcliffe Dwelling, formerly coach house
GV II Dwelling, formerly coach house. c.1775.converted to dwelling c.1995. Probably built soon after the rebuilding of Cliffe House which it served. Brick with some ashlar dressings. Slate roofs. PLAN: Late C18 linear range, forming east side of stable court. EXTERIOR: FRONT (west) ELEVATION: Two storey, hipped slate roof, with central late C20 doorway inserted into adapted blind-arched cart door. Three round-arched windows to either side, nos. 2 and 4 probably late C20 conversions of openings of other forms (probably much as in the stable range). To first floor central small semi-circular light, with three round-headed windows to either side, the middle window in each case dropping lower than those to either side. All windows newly framed in wood. Late C20 single-storey brick building attached to south end of range is not of interest. A post-1854 (map evidence) addition to the rear (east of the coach house) has not been seen but is unlikely to be of interest. INTERIOR: converted in 1996 to domestic dwelling HISTORY: Cliffe Hill, the adjoining mansion, is believed to have been built in 1775. The stables and coach house complex are of similar date, and are more than purely functional: intended to impress (as were the modest, park-like grounds in which the house was set), the stable yard was designed in a Neo-classical manner with an unusual screen wall. Listed for group value with the stables and attached enclosure wall (q.v.)
