The Clock House (Formerly Included In Description Of Peatswood)

The Clock House, originally a stable block of the now-demolished country house Peatswood, was built in 1891, as indicated by the datestone above the central door. It has been converted into a house and garages. The building is constructed of red brick with ashlar dressings and features a hipped machine tile roof topped with a wooden cupola. It is designed in the Queen Anne Revival style and consists of two storeys and a dormer-lit attic.

Architectural details include a wooden modillion eaves cornice, a wide brick floor band, and pilaster strips at the corners and center. The façade is arranged in a three:one:three bay configuration, with a central entrance bay beneath a steep open pediment. The entrance features a half-glazed door flanked by vertical fixed-light windows, and above it is a tripartite window with a decorated pediment. Above this window, there are two flanking oculi and a clock. The remaining windows are cross-paned casements with brick aprons, gauged heads, and projecting keystones. There are also two decorated lead downpipes on either side of the building.

The central cupola, located behind the pediment, is square in section with corner pilasters and has a lead dome topped with a brass weathervane. The clock house is situated in the roof slope and features a clock with the inscription "VULNERANT OMNES ULTIMA NECAT," flanked by two multi-paned cross casements. A modillion cornice with a small pediment is positioned above the clock.

To the right at the front, there is a round-headed entrance arch under a plain open pediment, leading to a short single-storey range with a loft above, which is lit by four narrow sash windows. The original house, Peatswood, dated from the late 18th century but has since been demolished. As of the last survey in 1984, only rubble and part of a disused summerhouse remain to the southwest, neither of which are included in the listing.
