Proposed works include the restoration of the granite masonry, improvements to the tower’s interior, a new rooflight and a stone terrace, creating the potential for a truly individual home that respects its historic character while embracing modern living. The adjoining buildings are also part of the wider vision, offering further potential within the approved scheme for practical ancillary accommodation.
