A snug with a wood burning stove and a large kitchen/breakfast room, together with a domestic area comprising a shower room, cloakroom and boiler room are positioned to the rear. A striking ballustraded staircase rises elegantly to the first floor, providing five double bedrooms, a sixth bedroom, two bathrooms and a separate cloakroom. THE GROUNDS Clock House enjoys a most attractive and private setting within park- like grounds of about 4.68 acres in total, with a lovely outlook to all sides. The extensive open space is full of interest, filled with many specimen trees, swathes of rhododendron and azalea and linked by tracks and trails which meander through the gardens. A small unfenced paddock flanks the driveway. A delightful writer’s pavilion offers tranquillity to enjoy the westerly views at sunset and a secluded, quiet, place to work from home.
