The impressive clock tower features four watches which were made by BL Vulliamy, the watchmaker to King George III. The property in question has been owned by one family for more than 30 years and is now being sold by M&W Sales and Lettings.

The property was one of the first buildings constructed by architect James Burton and his son Decimus Burton in 1827while they themselves have built many of the historic houses along the South Coast, Tunbridge Wells and London.

James Burton also worked with John Nash on Regent’s Park. In 1828, he began building in St. Leonards, based on his experiences in the area. The ‘Clock House’ has many impressive features, including arched Gothic doorways and an impressive tiled entrance floor from another era.

There is a rich man and… “heavy” interior space, with period furniture in bold shades, with wood dominating. In addition, it has a beautifully landscaped garden, which includes bar and dining room. As reported by dailymail, is a three-storey building on Maze Hill, overlooking the gardens of St. Leonards but also at sea.

The city gardens offer a peaceful environment with many plants, trees and even a pond. In addition, the area also has many schools, in case a family head wants to buy it.

It is worth noting that the average selling price for property in St. Leonards last year was at £291,265, which is just below the average of 312.201 pounds for the country as a whole.

Helen Whiteley, of property website OnTheMarket, said: “Properties like this don’t come up for sale very often, so it’s an opportunity for someone who wants to buy a house like this to do so,” she said.

“Except one wonderful story “Dating back almost 200 years, with its authentic charm and unique interior, this ‘clock house’ has a level of grandeur that remains as impressive today as when it was first built.”
