Clare boathouse is a grade II Listed Building. The redbrick boathouse was built in 1898-1900, with a side extension added later. It has a hipped pan-tiled roof, with a deep overhang. The soffit to the front has five registers of triple drop pendants, the outer two doubled in depth. There are chimney-stacks on the east and west roof slopes. The first floor has a full-width timber balcony, supported on square-section timber posts and reached by a straight flight of steps at one end. The balustrade is in the form of repeated open squares within cross bracing, and has the College crest at the mid-point. The first floor fenestration consists of two central two-light casements, and two outer three-light casements. The ground floor has two pairs of timber boathouse doors, set under basket arches. The single-storey side extension has one pair of timber boathouse doors, with the College crest on the roof gable.
