Description
An Italianate 4-stage tower of brick with pyramidal slate roof on deep bracketed eaves. The entrance is on the E side, a panel door in a moulded doorcase, beneath a large stone tablet with '1842' in raised numerals. Above it is a 16-pane horizontal-sliding sash window in an architrave in the 2nd stage, and small-pane oculus in the 3rd stage. The N side has a 16-pane horizontal-sliding sash window in an architrave in the lower stage. The 2nd and 3rd stages have blind windows. The W and S faces have a blind oculus at the 3rd stage. The upper stage is arcaded in each face, comprising 5 arches and blind except for small-pane glazing to the central arch.
Against the W wall is a former 1-storey coach house or stable (shown on the 1873 Ordnance Survey), subsequently used as a garage and now converted to a dwelling. It is brick with slate roof behind coped gables and finials similar to the Stables. It has 3 original openings on the S side and a later opening in the W gable end, all altered. On the S side is a late C20 1-storey projection, and a coped brick wall against the SE angle.
