Description

Tower House is a former tower windmill and mill house, now converted into a dwelling. It was built in 1822 and constructed from red brick, featuring a domed cap. The tower stands at five storeys, while the main house has two storeys. The building includes a three-window range of casements and vertical sliding sashes, topped with grey slate hipped roofs.

It experiences an average of 33 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 53% of listed buildings. Of these, 17 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
