Description
Two-storey building of brick with rock-faced quoins, and snecked stone basement. Brick parapet above a plain plinth band with corbel table and with stone coping; hipped roof. The S front has 2 tall round-headed windows with stone sills, imposts and keys, and with small-pane sashes. (In the upper storey is a small window in similar style inserted late C20.) Between the main windows is a cast iron bearing box behind glass. Slightly higher and to the R is another bearing box, infilled with brick. The basement has 3 equally-placed sash windows. The R side wall has a round-headed window similar to those of the front; the L side wall has an inserted doorway. Extensions at the rear are late C20. To the W is a rubble stone wall with brick parapet leading to a 9-sided tower. The tower is of brick and has similar details to the Cable House, with a parapet above a plinth band with plain corbel table, round-headed openings in the N and S faces and similar-style doorways in the E and W faces.
Originally a single-storey building with basement but divided into 2 storeys late C20. A bearing box, similar and corresponding to the one in the S wall, is visible in the N wall. From the basement there is a brick-vaulted tunnel to the tower which is partitioned at the property boundary between the Old Cable House and Park Cottage.
