Statement of Interest

The house and tower seem to be contemporary, both in evidence on the 1st edition OS map. Although casements, the lying pane windows are in keeping with those used on the main house. There is no internal stair; access to the upper floor is from the doorway to the rear. It commands an impressive view over the Esk Valley below. The main house has been altered and is not listed separately.
