Description

Tower Lee is a 17th century cottage that stands two storeys high with an attic. It features a timber frame with colour washed brick infilling and has a half hipped pantile roof, which was formerly partly covered with stone tiles. The cottage includes one 19th century dormer and two 19th century two-light casement windows on the first floor, along with one three-light similar casement window on the ground floor. There is a modern door located to the right. The building is noted for its picturesque appearance. Tower Lee, along with Nos 1 and 2 St John's Churchyard, is part of a group that includes Nos 1 to 4 (consecutive) and the Liberal Club in St John's Court.
