Description
The Tower House is a folly built in the 19th century. It is constructed of sandstone rubble and likely has a lead roof, although the stack is not visible. The building has an irregular plan featuring two towers, a wing, and lean-tos. It stands three storeys high and has a single-window range, with a two-light casement window under a hood moulding on the ground and first floors, and a three-light casement window above. A corbel-table supports the castellated parapet. There are entrances in a porch on the left side and in the wing on the right. The interior has not been inspected.
