Description
Clock House Farmhouse is a building originally constructed in the 16th to 17th century as a timber-framed and plastered house, featuring a cross wing at the west end. It is now completely encased in 19th-century red brick. The farmhouse has two storeys and attics, with windows that are primarily 19th-century double-hung sashes with three lights, along with some casements. The roof is tiled and includes a central chimney stack on the main block, which has three octagonal shafts on a rectangular base, topped with modern caps. Inside, the farmhouse retains exposed timber from the 16th and 17th centuries.
