Large double fronted early to mid C19th building located on the northern side of Castle Street. The building is in an exposed brick with a stuccoed and painted (white) ground floor and basement level. There are several chips to the paintwork over this stucco as well as a few small cracks. The door is located centrally within the façade, it is slightly raised from the street level and accessed via two small steps. There is a rectangular window located above the transom over the door, this has been blocked with plywood. There are pilasters on either side of the door which support a large triangular pediment located above it. A further door providing separate access to the basement level is located directly beneath this ground floor door, this was not clearly seen. There are two ground floor windows, one on either side of the door. The eastern consists of a large box bay window divided into four parts by rendered mullions and has a decorative moulded cornice at its top. This window is likely a later insertion. The western window is flat and is set within a slight recess within the render, this recess is round headed. The basement level windows align with the ground floor level openings but are largely obscured by the paved front garden area. This area is separated from the street level by a set of possibly original cast iron spear head railings. These railings continue on either side of the steps up to the door. There are three windows on the first and second floor levels. Each have painted flat gauged brick arches above and (possibly original) timber shutters are located on either side of the first floor windows. A string course is located over the top of the stucco at the ground floor level, this forms a continuous sill to all of the first floor windows. Four rendered Doric pilasters are located in the areas between the windows and over each of the party walls. These run from the base of a parapet over the top of the second floor to the top of the stucco over the ground floor level. The parapet at the top of the second floor is rendered and painted to match the ground floor and there is a moulded cornice at its top. A metal gutter down pipe runs through a small gap in the brickwork just below this parapet, down to the basement level over the eastern party wall. According to locals the interior of the building is in a state of disrepair due to a recent fire and the building is currently sitting vacant. The exterior is currently in a good condition but is vulnerable is left empty.

The door, which is located on centrally within the façade is likely original and in timber painted blue with five moulded panels. There is a rectangular window located above the transom over the door within a fixed frame painted white, this has been temporarily blocked with plywood. There is a further door located at the basement level directly below the ground floor door, this was not clearly seen. The eastern ground floor level window consists of a large box bay divided into four parts. Each of the four parts of all bay consists of a two pane timber framed sash. The two basement level windows are modern insertions. All other windows are possibly original timber framed sashes divided into 12 panes (three wide by four high) by timber glazing bars. The paintwork is slightly untidy over some of these windows. Aside from the window located abopve the ground floor door all windows are in a good condition with all panes present and intact.

The roof level was not clearly seen as it is located behind a parapet. Two stacks are visible from the street level, one over the eastern and western party walls. The eastern is rendered while the western is in an exposed brick. (1)
