The Clock House in St Leonards is on the market for £2.5million

The Clock House in St Leonards has been put on the market for £2.5million.

The Grade II listed building in Maze Hill was one of the first constructed by architect James Burton and his son Decimus Burton in 1827.

The pair were responsible for much of the Georgian architecture in London, with James building more than 3,000 homes in the centre of the city and collaborating with John Nash on Regent’s Park.

Looking out across St Leonards Gardens, the clock tower has four clocks by Benjamin Lewis Vulliamy, who was clockmaker to King George III.

Spread over three floors, the property has five bedrooms, landscaped gardens, a bar and dining area and period features including an arched gothic doorway and tiled entrance flooring.
