Four lines of square-headed window openings with replacement uPVC windows. Square-headed door opening at west side having replacement uPVC door.
The water tower is of technical and social significance as it serves the surrounding rural area with piped water. The tower represents increased standards of living in the mid-twentieth century when piped water became the standard in rural areas. The water tower forms an imposing landmark in the locality.
