Fowberry Tower

Fowberry Tower is a country house that was originally built as a tower-house in the 15th century. It was remodeled in 1666, but most of the current structure dates from the late 18th century and around 1800, with a datestone marking 1809. The work in 1776 was possibly carried out by Nisbit of Kelso for Mr. Blake, while later alterations were made for Matthew Culley. The building is constructed of ashlar stone and features a Welsh slate roof. It has an oblong, double-pile layout in the Gothick style, with two storeys and a basement on the north side, and three storeys and a basement on the entrance front. There are one-storey, one-bay wings, and a 20th-century kitchen extension to the left.

The north front has three bays with steeply-pointed triple windows that have intersecting glazing bars. The basement windows are tripartite and segment-headed, set under shallow segmental arches. Above the basement, curved corbels support a broad band resembling a parapet, which features inset quatrefoils beneath the ground floor windows. Similar corbels and quatrefoils are found on the top parapet and above the one-storey wings. The entrance front has seven bays arranged in a 1-2-1-2-1 pattern, with slightly projecting centre and end bays. The ground floor windows are Tudor-arched with intersecting glazing bars, while plain 12-pane sashes are above. In the centre, the five bays on the ground and first floors feature recessed windows and a door with double hollow-chamfered surrounds, topped by a central pediment with the datestone of 1809. There are bands between each floor.

Inside, the house exhibits Gothick decoration, particularly in the dining room, which includes a screen of two crocketed ogee arches on slim quatrefoil shafts, crocketed ogee heads on doors, and a Gothick fireplace. The drawing room has similar decoration. A simple 19th-century staircase leads to a fan-vaulted ceiling. The basement features complex vaulting, with 18th-century vaults supporting the new north front, and groin vaults behind, some made of stone and others of brick. There are also older tunnel vaults.

Early 19th-century wrought iron area railings are present at the entrance. Matthew Culley was the first secretary to the Board of Agriculture.
