Tower House is a large Victorian Marine Residence built in the mid-eighteen hundreds and is situated in an elevated position overlooking the picturesque town of Ventnor. It is set in a quiet location and commands splendid sea views.
The house is so called because of the tower on top, which was designed to look far out to sea, enabling the lady of the house to watch out for her sea faring husband returning from a long sea voyage. This tower was also referred to as 'the widows walk'. There is a decked area here, surrounded by arrow headed Victorian railings, making it very safe for those opting for the self catering apartments to sit out and take in the breathtaking views.
