Heathfield House — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Freestanding single-bay two-stage square-profile tower, built c. 1830, having lean-to to rear (north). Artificial slate roofs with exposed rubble stone eaves course to rear elevation. Lime rendered rubble stone walls surmounted by crenellated parapet walls with tooled stone copings to front (south) and side (east, west) elevations. Square-headed window openings having tooled limestone sills with timber-framed bipartite windows with two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows to front (south). Timber casement windows to ground floor of side (east, west) elevations. Square-headed door opening with rendered tooled stone voussoirs and timber battened doors to front elevation. Cobbled floor to interior with internal fireplace to first floor. Rendered plinth walls to south of folly forming enclosed garden borders.

This tower, designed to be visible from Heathfield House, is positioned in an elevated position to take advantage of the extensive surrounding views. The position of the entrance and window openings help accentuate the height of the structure. The surviving original fabric includes a lime render finish, good quality tooled limestone dressings and a cobbled floor.
