Towerwood Kennels

Symmetrical single storey range, possibly with attic, flanked by lower single storey ranges, and with further wing to rear. Constructed of snecked masonry with stone quoins under slate roofs. Heavily overgrown by vegetation. The central range has stone end stacks with octagonal shafts. All the openings are under flat stone lintels and have stone sills. The front of the central range has a wood planked door flanked by 2-light casement windows, mainly barred, and with frosted glass. The lower ranges are each 2-unit with a doorway towards the centre and a window to the outside. Most of the windows have iron bars and shutters behind. Only 1 door survives, in the W range. The L unit of the E range has a blocked doorway and has a 2-light casement window rather than shutters.

There are no openings to the gable ends. The kennel ranges have 2 small recesses to the rear, probably connected with the heating. The single storey rear wing leads off the W side of the central range. It has a circular masonry end stack and a louvred bell turret, and the front (E) has a planked door to the L and a shuttered 2-light casement window to the R.

The flanking kennel ranges have simple interiors with iron pipes fixed to the rear wall, probably to provide heating. No access to interior of central range which was presumably accommodation for the kennel-man, and also functioned as a boiler house.
