Description
Tower House is an 18th-century building situated in a prominent position within the important central group of buildings in Newmarket, including those around the “island.” The building is two storeys and an attic, constructed of red brick. The front facade features three near-flush-frame sash windows on the first floor, with glazing bars. A pedimented dormer window is visible from this side. The ground floor window now has only central glazing bars. The north face, which overlooks the churchyard, has three windows, including blank panels. The ground floor has a pair of panelled shutters. Two pedimented dormers are present on the north side. The building features a wood ogee bracket cornice and a pantile roof. The sash windows are in flush frames with flat arches. The entrance door consists of six fielded panels and a plain fan within a wooden case with a dentil cornice.
