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 decorative 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 cornice is weathered, with vegetation attached to it and some slight staining to the paintwork. There is also some vegetation growth located directly behind the parapet. There is a metal gutter down pipe located over the eastern party wall. This runs through a gap in the brickwork just below the cornice. There is a fair amount of vegetation growth attached to the hopper at its top. The brickwork at the basement level is painted white. The basement area is separated from the street by a set of (possibly original) cast iron 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 appears to be associated with a security system. Overall despite some untidiness, the building appears to be structurally sound and in a good condition.

The door, which is located on the western side of the façade, is in timber painted blue with five moulded panels. It is round headed with a small, original and decorative 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. There are four windows, all are located on the eastern side of the façade and align across the floors. These are a mix of original and later insertions. The basement and first floor windows are original, both are timber framed sashes divided into multiple panes (nine on the basement and 12 on the first floor) by timber glazing bars. the lower part of the ground floor window also appears to be original and is divided into six small panes. The glazing in the upper half of the ground floor window has been altered (possibly in the later C19th) and consists of three tall rectangular panes. All of the timber frames are painted white. The second-floor window is a later plastic insertion. 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 brick stacks are visible over each of the party walls. (1)
