Description
Tower Cottage is a two-storey cottage with a white-painted roughcast exterior and a monopitch roof, situated within the curve of a bastion. On the first floor, there is a small four-pane sash window located to the right, while the ground floor features a four-pane sash window on the left and a doorway to the right of centre. Attached to the right is a single-storey range that projects forward, also with a monopitch roof, which is positioned against the garden wall to the north and includes two four-pane sashes in its east end wall. The continuation of the main building to the left is hidden by No 2 Alpha Cottage. It is noted that the ground floor rooms are said to have glazed arrow loops in the town wall, as recorded in the 1977 listing.
