Description

Tower View is a building that dates back to the early 18th century and is now part of a house. It is constructed from red Pennant rubble with limestone dressings, and the roof is not visible. The tower has a square, single-depth plan and stands two storeys high, featuring a one-window range. Notable architectural elements include a first-floor impost band, a moulded cornice, and a parapet. The entrance and windows have been replaced in the 20th century. The interior has also been largely remodelled in the 20th century. This tower may have originally served as a lookout for Lunsford House or Red Lodge, as it shares similar impost mouldings with those buildings.

Tower View receives an average of 850 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 58% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 62% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 31 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 63% of listed buildings. Of these, 12 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.
