Description
The Clock House is an early 19th century former carriage house, stables, and ostler’s quarters, now used as a garage and storage space. It is constructed of brick with a hipped slate roof and a tile ridge, featuring eaves dentils. The building has three bays, with a central pedimented gable featuring a stone cornice and a clock face. Below the clock is a double carriage door with an arched head, topped by a blank semi-circular fanlight in a segmental stone surround with a dropped keystone featuring a moulded head. A semi-circular window with fan glazing bars has replaced the original window in the hayloft above, reusing the original keystone and impost blocks for the surround. The side bays are two storeys high, with arched brick windows containing Gothic 2-light timber windows and similar keystones. The left bay has a five-panel door, with one panel containing replaced glazing within a rectangular moulded doorcase, under a brick arched head with a stone keystone. The right bay has altered carriage doors. A central open cupola is also present. Inside, the building retains stabling features including patterned set flooring, an iron hayrack, and Ruabon brick mangers, along with timber loose-box partitions.
