Cloncorrick, Darling Point, Victorian Free Gothic residence in Darling Point, Australia

Cloncorrick is a two-storey brick house with a slate roof, wide return verandahs and balconies, built in the Victorian Free Gothic style. Its 1934 sale notice listed a wide entrance hall, drawing, dining and smoke rooms, sewing room and housemaids' pantry on the ground floor, four bedrooms, linen room and bathroom above, and a basement with wine cellar, china cupboard, laundry and coal cellar. It has since been converted into two apartments.

John Horbury Hunt designed the house in 1884 for Sir George Bowen Simpson, who named it after his grandfather's castle in Ireland. The building is listed on the Register of the National Estate and protected under local heritage conservation regulations.

The name Cloncorrick comes from Cloncorrick Castle in Ireland, where Sir George Bowen Simpson's grandfather once lived. Lady Simpson, who lived in the house from 1922 into the mid-twentieth century, supported the work of St Mark's Church, Darling Point; a memorial plaque to her and Sir George is still in that church. Esther Holt, owner from 1934, left the house a donation to St Mark's in her 1948 will.

The house is visible from the street but cannot be accessed from the inside as it is now divided into private residences. Daytime offers the best lighting for viewing and photographing the architectural details from the exterior.

The house name comes from the grandfather's estate in Ireland, creating a link between this Sydney property and the owner's family heritage. This Irish connection was preserved both in the building's name and its design choices.
