Description

The Clock House is an exceptional mid-terrace Grade II listed property, converted in the 1990’s and has a versatile accommodation of around 2200 sq. ft. arranged, unusually for The Barracks, over just two floors.

The current owners have completely renovated and modernised the interior with an exceptional eye for detail to transform this landmark property to suit the demands of modern day living. From a welcoming entrance hall, you’ll note the impressive high ceiling and sweeping staircase. The high ceilings are a wonderful feature which occurs throughout the property and the tall sash windows which allow for an abundance of natural light to be drawn from its east and west aspects.

The kitchen/dining room is fitted with a comprehensive range of wall and floor units incorporating integrated appliances, a central dividing island and a fitted dresser adjacent to the dining area. The drawing room has been fitted with an impressive bespoke range of library shelving and cupboard storage. The drawing room overlooks the magnificent square of The Barracks, complete with wonderful landscaped gardens and a central lake with fountain water feature. The sitting room, which is located to the rear of the property, has two sets of double doors leading out on to the garden terrace. This is an extremely pleasant room which offers views over the city. There is a cloak room/WC within the entrance hall.

From the first floor galleried landing there is the principal bedroom, which is accessed from a split landing staircase. This superb bedroom suite has lovely far reaching city and cathedral views, as well as a luxurious en suite. There are three further bedrooms, each with wonderful views of either the square to the front or the rear and with access to the main
bathroom.

Outside there is a private courtyard to the rear of the house, which is paved with flagstones. The garden is enclosed by railings with a pedestrian gate through to the gravel path to the rear. There are some lovely mature shrubs and flowering plants including an established clematis and wisteria. There is also a useful garden store.
