Description

7 Tower Street is a group of two-storey buildings featuring two-window facades, with the exception of Nos 1 and 8. The frontages are a mix of stucco and roughcast, while the first floors of Nos 2 and 3 are whitewashed plaster. Nos 4 and 7 are designed as advanced pavilions, with No 4 being further highlighted by a pedimented cross-gable. The buildings have cill bands and plinths, and No 7 has an end pilaster strip. The roofs are slate with boarded eaves, and there are three cement render and two brick chimney stacks.

All the buildings feature recessed 12-pane sash windows, except for the ground floor left window of No 2. The south front of No 49 and the one-window front of No 1 have lugged architraves. The entrance to No 3 has been altered, with a sash window now in the former arched doorway recess. The other fronts have arched entrances of two orders, with keystones present on Nos 4 to 7. Nos 1 to 3 and 7 have four-panel doors, while No 4 features a five-pane fanlight. No 7 has a one-window front that wraps around a chamfered corner, leading to the similar but three-window dry dash front of No 8. No 49 has deep pilasters on the ground floor, which support a large shop window.
