Description

Towerwood Kennels is a symmetrical single-storey building, possibly with an attic, flanked by lower single-storey ranges and featuring an additional wing at the rear. It is constructed from snecked masonry with stone quoins and has slate roofs. The building is heavily overgrown with vegetation.

The central range has stone end stacks with octagonal shafts, and all openings are under flat stone lintels with stone sills. The front of the central range features a wood-planked door flanked by two-light casement windows, which are mostly barred and have frosted glass. The lower flanking ranges each consist of two units, with a doorway towards the centre and a window on the outside. Most windows have iron bars and shutters behind them, but only one door remains, located in the west range. The left unit of the east range has a blocked doorway and features a two-light casement window instead of shutters.

There are no openings on the gable ends. The kennel ranges include two small recesses at the rear, likely related to heating. A single-storey rear wing extends from the west side of the central range, featuring a circular masonry end stack and a louvred bell turret. The front of this wing has a planked door on the left and a shuttered two-light casement window on the right.

The interiors of the flanking kennel ranges are simple, with iron pipes fixed to the rear wall, presumably for heating. Access to the interior of the central range is not available, but it likely served as accommodation for the kennel-man and also functioned as a boiler house.
