Description
Farleigh Cottage Tower House is a pair of cottages, possibly estate cottages or almshouses, built in the mid to late 19th century. The structure features coursed rubble with freestone dressings and decorative tiled roofs. The most prominent aspect is the tower at the north end, which has three stages and a pyramidal roof with ashlar quoins. Plain string courses separate the stages, with the upper stage resting on square corbels. The lower stages have single light windows, while the second floor features a window with a cusped ogee head, and the top stage has a tripartite window, although the outer parts are blank.
To the south lies the main part of the cottages, which is a single storey with attics, characterized by three steep and narrow stone dormers topped with fleur-de-lys finials. The building has ashlar stacks with cornices, and the roof extends over the eaves, supported by five stop-chamfered stone piers. There are single and two-light casement windows, along with two plank doors. A single bay 20th-century extension is located on the right side.
