Clock House

This is a house, originally built in the early 18th century. It served as the headquarters and officers' mess for Coxheath Military Camp and is now a farmhouse. The building is constructed of red and grey brick in a Flemish-type bond, with a plain tile roof. It was built at a right angle to the road and features a double-fronted gable end.

The house stands on a high chamfered plinth of ashlared stone. Running around the building is a stone plat band which becomes flush across brick pilasters. A short, plain parapet extends from each end of the gable, with a roof pitch finished with plain 20th-century wooden verges. There are brick pilasters on each end and three broad brick pilasters across the facade, with the central one extending to the apex of a pediment. Brick stacks are located on the left and right side elevations. A recessed 9-pane sash window with a segmental head is set within the gable. The main front has a regular arrangement of three windows, with one recessed 6-pane sash with thick glazing bars and segmental head on each broad pilaster. There are similar 12-pane ground-floor sashes, which break the plinth. An oval bulls-eye window sits above the front door, which itself has a stone key. The central door consists of eight fielded panels, recessed and surrounded by a moulded architrave and a flat corniced hood supported on shaped brackets, leading up four steps.

A red and grey brick service wing, also constructed in a similar style to the main range, is set at a right angle to the left side, located behind the front. A further early to mid 20th-century brick wing, echoing the main range’s style, projects forward to the right. The interior was not inspected, but it is believed to contain an 18th-century staircase with twisted balusters. The property was formerly within the Linton Civil Parish.
