Description

Tower End House is a mid-19th century house built in the Baronial style. It is constructed of red brick. The main part of the house is a two-story building, while an adjoining tower rises three stories. Both sections have tiled roofs with crow-stepped gables, and the tower features an embattlemented roof with machicolations made of moulded brick. The main section has a three-window front with 20th-century casement windows containing glazing bars. These windows are set within segmental gauged brick arches. The tower and adjoining parts of the house have additional windows, also casements with traceried glazing bars, all with segmental gauged brick arches. A brick plat band runs along the front. A moulded brick stack is visible on the gable.

It experiences an average of 18 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 82% of listed buildings. Of these, 9 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.
