Description
Tower House is an earlier house that was rebuilt in 1746 after a fire and underwent significant alterations in the late 18th century. It was refronted and heightened in the mid-19th century. The building is three stories tall, constructed of brick with a stone eaves cornice, quoins, and rustication around the doors on the left and the window heads. It features four windows and has a shallow pitched slate roof. The sash windows have incised keys in their heads, with two three-light windows on the first floor and an oriel bay on the left that has three lights and a dentil cornice. The main entrance is located under the third window from the left, featuring a wooden doorcase with thin pilasters and reeded brackets that support a moulded cornice. The north-east front is rounded on the first two floors.
At the rear, there are extensions that are partly brick and partly stone and tiled, creating a pleasant courtyard. To the left, there is a projecting coachhouse, with stables and a hay loft connecting to the rear extension of the house. Various windows, including some round-headed ones, are present on the brick stable and coachhouse blocks, with the latter featuring a hipped gable to the south-west. Inside, there is a fine late 18th-century circular staircase with a coved ceiling and gothick light.
Tower House is part of a group that includes Nos 62 to 86 (even), Nos 66A, 70A, and 86A, as well as Nos 88 to 106 (even) and the former St Anthony Franciscan preparatory school.
