Lanton Tower

Lanton Tower is a 16th-century tower that has undergone significant alterations and additions, particularly in the 19th century. The main structure is a four-storey tower with an attic, accompanied by a two-storey and attic addition forming an L-shape, and a lower two-storey service wing. The building is constructed of sandstone rubble.

The tower, facing southeast, showcases enlarged windows and modern gabled dormers with thistle finials. The southeast elevation is gabled, featuring a window on each floor and an apex stack. The northeast elevation has a pair of gun-loops at ground level, a window to the left on the first floor, two windows on the second floor, and a dormer on the left. The southwest elevation mirrors the design, featuring two windows on the first floor. Windows throughout the tower are timber sash and case with 12 panes, and the crowstepped gables are adorned with reconstituted beak skewputts. Dormers have flat ashlar skews.

A 19th-century wing extends from the southwest side, displaying a three-bay facade where the tower adjoins on the right. The right portion features a projecting gabled porch at ground level, bipartite windows on the front and left return, a panelled door on the right return, and a bipartite window above. A broad gabled bay to the left presents a two-storey corniced canted window and a single window in the gablehead. This wing features four-pane timber sash and case windows and saw-tooth coping to the gables, along with corbel skewputts.

The northwest elevation of the 19th-century wing features a projecting bay with a window at ground level and a timber oriel window above. The centre bay has a glazed door at ground level and a window above, with a small round window to the right on the first floor. The left bay has windows on both floors. A low, extended harled rear service range to the left includes two windows, a dormer, and rooflights.

The southeast elevation includes the tower to the left and two bays of the main house with a modern door to the left, set deep within a heavily chamfered, red ashlar round-headed doorcase that contains a small light to the left. A window is positioned above the doorcase. The right bay has windows on both floors and a canted, piend-roofed dormer. The northeast return gable has an apex stack, a small ground-floor window to the left, and a gablehead window. A set-back four-bay service range extends to the right, featuring two doors, three irregular windows, a garage door set under a depressed arch, and a window in each bay above. Adjacent garages have steeply-pitched piended roofs with a window on the end wall. The house windows are 12-pane timber sash and case, while the service wing windows are four-pane. Finishing details include ashlar coped skews, grey slates, and coped rubble stacks, with brick detailing on the service wing.

The stables are arranged in an L-shape, constructed of squared and snecked pink sandstone with ashlar dressings. The west range has a door and flanking windows facing the courtyard, under a piended roof. The east range features a pair of two-leaf stable doors and a window to the right at ground level, alongside a boarded door within a gabled dormer breaking the eaves for access to the hay-loft above. A blank gable to the east return is present, along with coped skews. Timber casement windows and grey slates complete the stables.

Low rubble boundary walls run along the road, while taller rubble walls with boulder coping partially enclose the garden to the southwest, curving down at intervals.
