Gothic clocktower home in St Leonards-on-Sea is for sale for the first time in 24 years — with a price tag of £2.5 million

The Clock House’s four clocks were designed by King George III’s clockmaker, Benjamin Lewis Vulliamy

Once a clock tower — the town’s official timepiece, no less— this impressive, Grade II-listed structure is now a family home. And, after 24 years, it is on the market for £2.5 million.
