The three-bedroom house had been the home of mechanic and keen clock collector the late Jack Stuckey. It was full of furniture and there was food in the cupboards, clothes in the wardrobes and bottles of spirits in the bar.

Check out the well-filled bar left unattended for close to four years.

Agent Grant Matterson, of LJ Hooker Narrabeen, said the single-level home had been vacant for close to four years. Mr Stuckey had died and his partner Mrs Betty Almaide moved interstate to be with her son. “It looked as if the owners had just got up after breakfast and gone for a walk,” Mr Matterson said.

The Warriewood house was left untouched for almost four years, there was even food in the cupboards.

The new owner of the dated home is local builder Mark Bennett who is looking for a buyer for all the clocks. There is an impressive grandfather clock in the living room, cuckoo clocks, wall clocks, mantel clocks, carriage clocks and antique clocks.

“There are clocks everywhere in the house,” Mr Bennett said.

“And when I opened the garage there were more in there ... There are a couple of clocks in there that I like but I don’t need 100 of them.”

He is hoping to find an expert who can value the collection. Anyone interested in helping can call Mark on 0414 679 192.
