The Tower

The Tower is a large house built in the mid-19th century, with some refurbishment in the 20th century. It is constructed of red brick and features leaded roofs, with a square plan and clasping corner turrets. The building has two storeys and a basement, supporting a 'piano nobile' layout.

The north elevation is symmetrical, with a three-window range and single range end turrets. The windows are segment-headed, primarily sash windows with three panes by four panes. There are middle and upper brick bands, with the upper band being dentilled and featuring a castellated parapet and recessed panels above the windows below. The turrets rise above the central block to three storeys, with narrow segment-headed sash windows of two panes by four panes. The turrets are topped with ogival leaded cupolas.

The central doorway is located in a projecting castellated porch with diagonal buttresses, approached by steps, and features a boarded and battened door. At the east end, there is a two-storey service block with a ramped castellated parapet, a boarded door with a light approached by steps, and an adjacent casement window.

The rear south and west side elevations are similar to the front, with no doorways and basement windows that are top-hung casements with five panes by three panes. The south elevation includes the service block on the east side, which has a 20th-century fully glazed door and sidelights, with a total of six panes by five panes under a segment head.

The east side elevation mirrors the rest but has a service addition to the three central bays, featuring a castellated parapet and a low pitch leaded roof. The windows are segment-headed, with five on the ground floor and three on the first floor, displaying irregular spacing and a mix of sashes and casements with glazing bars. A large central rectangular stack rises over the house, complemented by a tall narrow stack aligned over the roof of the service block. The upper turret windows are round, fixed, and have radial glazing bars. The interior reflects the same architectural style.
