Description
Tower House is located in the former grounds of Beresford Hall and is dated to 1905, although it incorporates earlier materials. The building is constructed from random rubble with ashlar quoins and dressings, topped with a clay tile roof featuring weatherboarded gables behind a plain coped parapet. It has an L-shaped plan and stands three storeys high with one bay on the south elevation. The windows are diamond section mullioned, with the ground floor window blocked but originally consisting of three lights. The first and second floors have two-light windows. To the left of the ground floor is a six-panelled door with an ovolo moulded surround, which is accessed by a flight of stone steps. The house was likely built using materials from the now-demolished Beresford Hall.
