The Clock House is on the market for the first time in nearly 40 years and offers a unique opportunity to create a modern home with many outbuildings. It is conveniently located only 2.5 miles from Orpington train station (15 mins to London Bridge) yet within the High Elms country park. It was built in the 18th century forming part of a huge estate purchased by Sir John Lubbock and includes many defining period features including the clock tower built around 1804 by the Whitechapel Bell Foundry who also built Big Ben. The house also benefits from numerous barns and stores which have recently been refurbished.
The Grade II Listed Clock House has undergone significant renovations post war by previous residents including the late Eric Lubbock MP. The main house features three imposing reception rooms, two kitchens, a conservatory/morning room and cloakroom. Upstairs there are six bedrooms and three bathrooms. There are two useable cellars. Externally, there is the octagonal horse gin which could be used as a home office, five additional store rooms, a substantial 30ft x 19ft garage and swimming pool within a traditional walled garden. Viewing highly recommended of this unique property offering amazing potential.
