Description

The clocktower, coach houses, and stabling, located approximately 25 meters southwest of the Manor House, date from the mid to late 19th century and have been converted into holiday accommodation. The structure features serpentine ashlar and rubble with granite sills, lintels, and voussoirs, topped with dry Delabole and scantle slate roofs that have gables at the ends, except at the corners. A single serpentine ashlar chimney is present.

The overall layout is U-shaped, enclosing three sides of a courtyard, with a gateway on the fourth side. The west range includes a tall two-stage square clocktower on the north side, along with two slightly projecting cross wings that have rooms above. The south range has a courtyard front supported by granite piers, which were originally open but were infilled in the 20th century. The east range mirrors this design, but its courtyard front is supported by iron stanchions. A section of wall and a gateway enclose the fourth (north) side.

The west range's east front consists of five bays plus the clocktower, which is set forward on the right. The second bays from both the left and right are wide coach entrances featuring elliptical arched doorways, with small windows above in the gables. There are additional doorways in the left and right bays and on the south wall of the tower, with windows elsewhere. The doors and glazing are from the 20th century. The clocktower has small latticed windows on the lower part of the upper stack and a square blind opening above, except on the east side, which displays the original clock face. The tower is topped with an embattled parapet and a louvred spire.

It has been suggested that the clocktower was possibly built in 1887 to commemorate Queen Victoria's 50th year as Monarch, as part of a number of Jubilee towers constructed during that period. These buildings are part of a significant planned 19th-century group associated with Bochym Manor House.
