Description

Tower House is a late Georgian three-storey, two-window house featuring a scribed roughcast front and rubble stone side and rear walls, with slate lintels and a slate roof that has projecting boarded eaves. There is a brick stack to the left and a roughcast stack on the rear wing. The west elevation facing the street has tripartite small-pane sash windows, with sill bands on the middle and upper storeys. The middle-storey sill band extends as a coping to a wall on the left side of the house, which is continuous with the front elevation and adjoins the Town Wall. This wall features a round arch with a dressed-stone surround and double iron gates topped with spear finials.

The left (north) gable end is stepped in plan, with mid-20th century windows inserted on the right side and a portico with cast iron posts set back on the left side, serving as the main entrance. This entrance has a panelled door with a small-pane overlight above it. Above the door, there is a 12-pane hornless sash window in the middle and a 12-pane horned sash window in the upper storey. The rear wall of the main house has, at the right end, two 12-pane hornless sashes that light the stair. A lower three-storey rear wing features a boarded door on the right, a 16-pane hornless sash window on the left, and replaced middle and upper-storey windows, with an additional window inserted in the middle right. At the rear, there is an added lean-to with mid-20th century details, including garages on the lower storey and a balcony above.

Inside, the entrance hall contains a full-height open-well stair with a wreathed handrail, plain balusters, and moulded tread ends. The stair hall has scribed plaster walls, a classical cornice, and a central ceiling rose. The doors to the main rooms, which are now separate flats, are made of mahogany panel.
