Believed to date to mid-C16, The Clockhouse is one of the most iconic properties in the town. A wealth of period characteristic features include exposed rustic, embellished and more recent timbers, wall panelling and vintage fireplaces. The property does however benefit from contemporary interior styling to provide an elegant home suited to present-day lifestyles.

On the ground floor, the entrance porch leads through to a spacious sitting room, with doors linking through to the adjacent drawing room and the formal dining room. To the rear of the house, the kitchen/breakfast room offers a sociable hub with features including parquet
flooring, an excellent range of contemporary
cabinetry topped with stone work surfaces, and
a range stove set within a stone-framed chimney
breast. A light-filled, adjoining family room has
a vaulted ceiling with painted rafters offering a
sunny setting for relaxation with French doors
opening onto the garden providing a seamless
link from the inside to the outside environment.
The bedroom accommodation is arranged
across the first and second floors, with a
staircase rising to the first level where there is
access to a balcony and to three of the seven
bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from
a walk-in wardrobe with link through to a vast
family bathroom and the second room features
a free-standing bathtub positioned within the
bedroom. Four further bedrooms are situated on
the second level, along with a modern shower
room, and a further stairway gives access to the
flexible-use attic level rooms.
Iron railings enclose the front gardens and
pedestrian gates are set within an elaborate
brick-built archway which mirrors the
architecture of the building. At the grand
entrance porch, a plague commemorates the
residence of Sir George Beaumont in the early
C19 and a driveway to the rear provides parking
and a link to the timber carports and garage.
The gardens and grounds are particularly
noteworthy, being well-maintained and
designed with parterres of clipped hedging,
pergola walkways and areas to sit and enjoy the
al fresco environment. Borders are filled with a
pleasing selection of architectural and colourful
shrubs and perennial plants, with specimen
and mature trees throughout the gardens. A
sheltered, lawned corner is the ideal setting for
children’s play and a pond feature provides a
magnet to wildlife.
