Description
Balgray Tower is a picturesque Gothic villa built around 1830 for Duncan of Mosesfield, designed by architect David Hamilton, who also constructed Mosesfield House. The building features a castellated tower and is currently abandoned as of 1988. It is constructed of rubble with peeling harl and has ashlar dressings. The crenellated parapets conceal the roofs. The villa is single-storey and arranged in a U-plan, with the tower centrally located at the west. The west elevation has two bays, with the semi-octagonal tower breaking forward in the center and canted windows in the flanking bays.
The tower has round-headed bipartite windows, some of which have hood-moulds and slits. A string course below the parapet features masks set at angles, and a circular staircase turret at the rear rises above, topped with a cap-house. Both flank walls have a niche set in the wall near the west end. The door on the north flank has a depressed ogee head, with a dummy cross-loop alongside.
