The Tower House

The Tower House is a house, originally a gardeners' bothy, dating to approximately 1897-1900. It was designed by Romaine Walker for Mr. Robert Hudson of Danesfield. The building is constructed with a lower storey of dressed chalk, featuring chalk mullion windows, and an upper storey of roughcast and whitewashed render with wooden casements. It has a plain tile roof with wooden bargeboards and brick chimneys with 'V' pilasters and off-set heads. The building is in a picturesque L-shape and is one storey high, with an attic.

The north front has three bays. The bay to the left is gabled and projects, with the upper storey jettied on curved wooden brackets. This bay contains two paired casements on the ground floor, and a 7-light first-floor oriel with a moulded bressumer. The centre bay has a pair of 2-light casements to the ground floor, and a 2-light gabled dormer. The right bay is blind. A board and stud door, set in a 4-centred arch with carved spandrels, is located between the right bays. The right gable features a pair of 2-light ground floor windows and a 5-light oriel above. A rear wing has similar windows and two matching doors. A large external chalk stack is situated at the far end of the rear wing. A staircase, originally external, was later enclosed with weatherboarding in the 20th century.
