The Tower House is a fine Grade II listed Georgian town house which is understood to date from the late 18th century with the iconic castellated three storey tower having been added in 1904. This fascinating family home exudes charm and character and is well placed for the local amenities of the town. It enjoys wonderful westerly facing views over delightful walled gardens and benefits from off road parking and a versatile detached two storey outbuilding with garaging beneath.
