Tall, relatively narrow mid C19th building located on the northern side of Castle Street in an exposed brick. The door, which is within a slight recess in the brickwork, is raised slightly from the street level and located on the western side of the façade. It is round headed and there is a semi-circular window located above the transom over the door. There is a corresponding semi-circular brick arch above the door with a rendered keystone. A further door is located below the ground floor door providing separate access to the basement level. This is accessed from the street level via a set of steep concrete steps the top of which is at the eastern side of the façade. There is a single window at the basement, ground, first and second floor levels, aligning across all of the floors. all have painted (white) flat gauged brick arches above. The first and second floor windows are set within a slight recess within the brickwork. A rendered and painted (white) string course is located at the top of the ground floor, this forms a continuous sill to the first floor window and continues onto the buildings on either side. There is a rendered and painted moulded cornice and parapet located directly above the second floor window. The paintwork on this cornice and parapet is stained and there is a small amount of vegetation growth attached to it. There are metal gutter down pipes located on either side of this building, over each of the party walls. The western runs through a gap in the brickwork just below the cornice while the eastern runs from above the parapet, both continue down to the basement level. The western down pipe has a fair amount of vegetation growth attached to the hopper at its top. The brickwork at the basement level is rendered and painted white. The basement area is separated from the street by a set of (possibly original) cast iron spear head railings. These railings continue on either side of the steps up to the ground floor door. There is an amount of untidy wiring located at various locations across the façade, this is mainly grouped above the string course over the ground floor and appears to be associated with a security system. Overall despite some untidiness, the building appears to be structurally sound and in a fairly good condition.

The door, which is located on the western side of the façade, is in timber painted green with six rectangular panels. It is round headed with a small semi-circular window located above the transom over the door. This has a timber frame painted white and appears to be fixed. A further door is located beneath the ground floor door, providing separate access to the basement level. This was not clearly seen but appears to be in timber painted white. There are four windows, all are located on the eastern side of the façade and align across the floors. all appear to be original timber framed sashes (painted white) divided into multiple panes by timber glazing bars. The ground, first and second floor windows are divided into 12 panes (three wide by four high) while the basement level window is not as tall and is divided into nine panes (three wide by three high). Overall all windows and the door 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 tall stacks are visible over each of the party walls; the eastern is rendered while the western is in an exposed brick. (1)
