Fairly large double fronted mid C19th building in brick with a rendered and painted (green) front elevation, located on the north eastern side of Castle Hill Road. The north eastern and south western side elevations are in an exposed stock brick. The door is located centrally within the façade, it is raised from the street level and accessed via a set of five steps. There is an original and decorative rectangular window located above the transom over the door. The surround is stuccoed and there is a moulded cornice above. A further door is located beneath this providing separate access to the basement level, this was not clearly seen. Two large, canted bay windows are located at the ground floor level on either side of the door. Each is divided into five narrow sections and has iron railings over the flat roof. There are two windows at the basement level, aligning with the central parts of the ground floor bays, and three at the first floor level, again aligning with the bays while the central aligns with the door. The first floor windows have timber shutters attached to the render on either side, these are likely a later addition. The eaves overhang the top of the first floor and a modern gutter down pipe runs from the base of the eaves down to the basement level between the eastern and central first floor window. The basement area is separated from the street level by a set of (likely original) cast iron spear head railings over a low brick wall. There are tall rendered and painted gate piers at the gap in these railings for the ground floor level door, there are a few cracks in this render. There are two small modern dormer windows located at the roof level, aligning with the openings on the floors below. A small brick extension is located on the south western side of the property, this is set back from the street level and is in an exposed brick. There are two visible windows on the south western façade, both are located close to the south western corner of the building. The ground floor level window has bee blocked with brick and has a flat gauged brick arch above. The first floor window is open and has timber shutters. No openings are visible in the north eastern side of the building. Overall this is an attractive, well kept building. It appears to be structurally sound and in a good condition.

The ground floor door is located centrally within the façade, it is original and in timber painted black with three moulded panels. There is an original and decorative rectangular window located above the transom over the door. This is in a timber frame painted black and appears to be fixed. The basement level door was not clearly seen. The two windows at the ground floor level, on either side of the door, consist of large canted bays. Each of these bays is divided into five narrow parts by timber mullions, three in the central portion and one in each of the outer. All of these sections are divided horizontally, the upper parts are small, square and divided into four small panes, while the lower are tall rectangular panes. All appear to be fixed. The first floor and basement level windows are all original timber framed sashes divided into multiple panes by timber glazing bars. The three first floor windows on the main façade are 16 panes each (four wide by four high) while the fourth first floor widow on the southwestern side is 12 panes (three wide by four high. The basement level windows are also 12 panes (four wide by three high). All of the timber frames are painted white, this paintwork is in a good condition. The two dormer windows are later plastic additions. All windows are in a good condition with all panes present and intact.

The roof is hipped and in slate. There is a tall brick stack located over the north eastern party wall. The roof structure appears to be in a good condition with no signs of bowing or slipped slates. (1)
