Tower View

Tower View is a building dating from 1781, located on Castle Street in a group with Nos 22 and 24 Castle Street and No 2 Castle Lane. This 18th-century structure consists of two dwellings and features two storeys plus an attic with a six-window red brick facade. The windows have metal casements with rectangular leaded lights set in transomed and mullioned wood frames, although one of the central bays has been blocked up. Stone lintels with keyblocks and stone cills are present, along with a moulded stone cornice and brick pilasters at the quoins, which have stone rustications. The entrance includes a six-panel door within a plain doorcase. The roof has three restored gabled dormers covered in old tiles. The south elevation facing Castle Lane is rendered in modern cement and features an earlier 19th-century doorway with a six-panel door and a rectangular fanlight, both set in a reveal with a surround of slender pilasters and an entablature with a lath cornice hood.
