Clock House

This is a house, built in the early 19th century by Sir James Alexander, although it occupies the site of an earlier house and may incorporate earlier fabric. It is stuccoed with a slate roof and features two tall stuccoed chimney stacks. The house has three main storeys and attics, with a six-window front. A bracketed eaves cornice runs along the top. The central two bays project slightly. The attic window is a 12-pane sash with horns. The second floor has 9-pane sashes, while the first floor has 12-pane sashes with moulded architraves and patterned blind boxes. The ground floor windows are taller 12-pane sashes. A central, two-storey Doric porch with four columns supports a cast iron lantern and includes 20th-century double doors. The left side of the building exhibits a giant arch with a 20th-century window above it, and a late 18th-century doorcase featuring a swag frieze and cherubs above half columns. The house was illustrated as 'The Elms, Epsom' in Stanley C Ramsay's "Smaller houses of the Late Georgian Period."
