Description
Tower House is a windmill built in the 19th century, with late 20th-century additions and alterations that are not of particular interest. The structure is made of pinkish-brown brick and features a concealed roof. The entrance has been relocated to a 20th-century extension, and there are 20th-century windows in the original openings, which are set under segmental arches.
