Description
The Tower of Deskford is likely an early 18th century building that may include earlier elements. It is a two-storey, west-facing house with five bays and a regular arrangement of four windows. The entrance door is off-centre in the penultimate bay from the south. The small windows have chamfered margins but are currently covered with harling. The rear of the building has irregular window placements and an off-centre entrance that is obscured by a modern lean-to porch. The windows feature four-pane glazing, and the house has end and ridge stacks along with a slate roof.
