Location
Situated in Tower Wood 20 m west of Trevor Tower and about 0.5 km north of Garth. The house is located at lower ground level adjacent to a retaining wall.
History
Earlier C19 house, probably built in conjunction with Trevor Tower nearby in 1827. The house is shown on 1838 Tithe Map.

One-and-half storeys, four-window range with half-hipped gables, dormer gablets over 1st and 2nd windows and half-hipped gable over 3rd window. Windows generally segmental headed, except upper left-hand and upper central dormer windows. On ground floor windows are, from left to right: 6-pane sash, twin 4-pane sash with mullion, twin 4-pane sash with mullion and double 6-pane casement. Three windows on upper floor are all 12-pane sash. Plain timber boarded doors between 1st and 2nd windows and between 2nd and 3rd windows. Rear elevation has half-hipped gablet. An underground passage (now blocked) leading to Trevor Tower commences at foot of retaining wall adjacent to NE angle of house.
