The Clockhouse, which dates back to the mid 16th Century, is a Grade I symbolic residence within the town. Retaining a wealth of period features, including exposed rustic, embellished, and more contemporary timbers, along with wall panelling and vintage fireplaces, this property seamlessly blends historic charm with modern elegance to cater to contemporary lifestyles.

On the ground floor, an inviting entrance porch leads to a spacious sitting room, with adjoining doors connecting to the drawing room and formal dining area. Towards the rear, the kitchen/breakfast room is a sociable hub, featuring parquet flooring, contemporary cabinetry topped with stone work surfaces, and a range stove set within a stone-framed chimney breast. An adjoining family room, filled with natural light, offers a serene retreat with French doors opening on to the garden, seamlessly integrating indoor and outdoor living.

The bedroom accommodation spans the first and second floors, accessed via a staircase leading to the balcony and three of the seven bedrooms on the first level. The principal bedroom benefits from a walk-in wardrobe leading to a spacious family bathroom, while the second room features a free-standing bathtub set within the bedroom itself. Four additional bedrooms, a modern shower room, and flexible attic-level rooms complete the upper floors.

The meticulously maintained gardens feature parterres of clipped hedging, pergola walkways, and serene seating areas amidst colorful shrubs, perennial plants, and mature trees. A sheltered, lawned corner is ideal for children's play, and a pond feature provides a magnet for wildlife.
