Description

Clock House and Crooksbury House Cottage, formerly known as Stable Court, is a former stable block that has been converted into cottages. It was originally built in 1890 and rebuilt in 1901 in the "Wrenaissance" style by Sir Edwin Lutyens. The structure features red brick at the base, topped with hipped and gableted plain tiled roofs.

At the center, there is a wooden cupola above an elliptically arched throughway. The building is single storey, set on brick plinths, with deep eaves and projecting wings at either end. There are multiple stacks on the apex of the left-hand roof, a front stack on the left side of the right-hand roof, and an end stack on the right side.

The central cupola has an open domed upper stage over a rusticated plinth, with a clock face beneath "eyebrow" mouldings on each side. The angles feature rebate mouldings, and there is festoon carving on the entrance face. Below the keystoned, gauged brick arch on panelled stone piers are egg-shaped leaded casements. Each end wing has one dormer, with the right being gabled and the left hipped, both containing two leaded casements.

A planked door is located to the center right within an arched porch recess, flanked by margin lights. There is an additional door on the left-hand wall of the throughway. At the rear of Clock House, there is a garage wing with a hipped roof, central hipped double doors, and flanking stable doors beneath 3-light hipped dormers, which connects to a single storey range across the back of the stable courtyard.

A central splay-sided pavilion features a conical roof and a central stack. There is 20th-century brick infilling in the openings on either side, with one gabled dormer on each side that has 20th-century fenestration below. The central glazed door is set in a panelled and shouldered surround, with brackets and a keystone block supporting a leaded eyebrow head dormer above.
