Description
This is an 18th-century building, formerly known as Tower House, situated on Castle Street. It is constructed of vitreous bricks with red brick dressings. The building is three storeys high and features a moulded string course above the first-floor windows, along with a moulded and dentil brick roof cornice and a parapet, originally panelled with stone coping. The front facade has three bays, with windows set within architrave surrounds beneath segmental arches. The windows lack glazing bars, and the second-floor windows have aprons. The ground floor now contains a modern shop with a cornice. A cast lead rainwater pipe and head, bearing an 18th-century date, is located on the west side of the building. The interior includes a timber-framed wing dating back to the 17th century. The building forms a group with Priory House Annexe and numbers 1 to 7 (odd) on Castle Street.
