Description

Tower Farmhouse is an 18th-century farmhouse, dated 178-, located in Middleton Tower End. It is constructed from coursed galletted carstone with brick dressings and features a pantile roof with a brick dentil cornice. The building has a range of five bays and is two storeys high with an attic on the south side. There is a continuous two-storey 19th-century extension to the north with raised gables.

The entrance facade is on the north side of the 19th-century addition, showcasing galletted carstone blocks. This facade has five bays over two storeys, with the ground floor featuring a three-light casement window with a segmental arch between the first and second bays. The third bay includes a wide canted bay window with a flat roof, while the fourth bay has a 19th-century part-glazed door with a coped canopy, barge boards, and a finial. There is a two-light casement window between the fourth and fifth bays. The first floor consists of five horizontally hung flush sash windows with glazing bars.

On the south facade, the ground floor has a sash window with glazing bars in the first bay, three-light casements in the third and fifth bays, and a doorway in the third bay with a late 19th-century part-glazed door and a rectangular light above. The first floor features three-light casements in the first, third, and fifth bays, with blank openings in the second and fourth bays. There is a roof dormer in the second bay and an axial stack in the fourth bay.

In front of the ground floor bays two to four, there is a curved canopy made of glass tiles supported by wrought iron posts, dating from the early 19th century. The east return has an iron marking "MC 17" and a casement window with glazing bars in the attic. The west return features an iron marking "MC 8-" on the gable, along with the remains of a rectangular opening on the first floor and an inserted window in the attic to the right.
