Description
The Clock House is a house, originally stables, coachhouse and coachman's cottage built in the 18th century and altered in 1901, serving Weston House and incorporating walls that form a courtyard. It is constructed of coursed rubble stone with old tile roofs. The building is one storey and has an attic.
The north-west front features a large, rusticated central archway, fitted with glazing in 1901, topped by an oval rusticated window within a pediment. A large, square, cement-rendered clock turret with rusticated quoins and a cornice rises from the roof ridge. The turret is topped with a flat lead dome, an octagonal arched wooden cupola, an ogee lead dome, and a cockerel weather vane. To the left of the carriageway are two segmental-headed sash windows, a central door, and above, the oval rusticated window and a two-light gabled dormer. A similar arrangement exists to the right, with a glazed carriage arch. The south elevation is similar, featuring rusticated round windows - five to the west of a blocked central carriageway and three to the east. A two-bay west wing, dated 1901, mirrors the rusticated carriage arch. The coachman's cottage has casement windows and a north-facing gable.
Rubblestone stableyard walls with moulded copings enclose the Clock House to the east, west, and north. The gate piers in the centre of the north wall have moulded plinths and caps surmounted by ball finials.
