History
The Clock House is a unique and beautifully presented four bedroom family home with a clock tower which has been a focal point of Thorpe Satchville village for more than a century. With the original 4-face clock tower and 8 day winder, the property was part of the former world renowned Pinfold stud farm dating back to the early 1900's. It was owned by Alfred Lowenstein, the famous tycoon who mysteriously disappeared from his plane in the 1920's. His story is told in the book \"The Man Who Fell From The Sky\". The present owners purchased the property in 2007 and set about refurbishing the property and bringing the house back up to standard. Lovingly refurbished, the property now offers that charming mix of character and contemporary living which is ideal for any family.
