Tall, relatively narrow mid C19th building located on the northern side of Castle Street in an exposed brick. This building is slightly recessed from its western neighbour but flush with its eastern. Suggesting that the buildings to the west of this were constructed at a slightly different time. 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. There is a single window at the basement, ground, first and second floor levels, aligning across all 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 some damage to the paintwork on this string course. There is a rendered and painted moulded cornice and parapet located directly above the second floor window. This is weathered and the paintwork on this is stained and chipped. A metal gutter down pipe is located over the eastern party wall. This runs through a gap in the brickwork just below the cornice down to the basement level. There is a very large amount of vegetation attached to this down pipe and the brickwork surrounding it is badly stained, suggesting that it leaks or has leaked in the past. The brickwork at the basement level is painted white, this paintwork is badly chipped in several locations. 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 are several areas of untidiness where improvements could be made to this building though it appears to be structurally sound.

The door, which is located on the western side of the façade, is possibly original and in timber painted grey with five moulded panels. It is round headed with a small, decorative and original semi-circular window located above the transom over the door. This has a timber frame painted white and appears to be fixed. 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 divided into more smaller panes – 16 in total (four wide by four high). The paintwork is chipped and cracked in several locations. Overall, despite some untidiness, 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)
