Description
Clockmakers Cottage is a house from the early 19th century, located on the south side of West Street in Kings Cliffe. It features squared coursed limestone with ashlar dressings and a Collyweston slate roof, arranged in an L-shape plan over two storeys. The front has a three-window range, with a central six-panel door that includes a rectangular fanlight with diamond pattern glazing bars, all set beneath a stone lintel with keyblocks. The windows are eight-paned, unhorned sash types, also under stone lintels with keyblocks and surrounded by ashlar. The building is topped with a moulded ashlar cornice and ashlar gable parapets, and there are ashlar stacks at both ends. Although the interior was not inspected, it is noted to have early 19th-century fittings.
