That looks a bit top heavy, I'd probably have sleepless nights if it was
towering over my bedroom.


Why do you say that?

The top is simply a stepped brick detail, once removed to a suitable
height it will be less than 20 course of brick


If your diagram is fairly accurate it looks like over 300 bricks,
knocking on a ton, balancing on two central 9" x 4" contact points on
the party wall.
