Tall, relatively narrow mid C19th building located on the northern side of Castle Street in an exposed brick. The door is raised slightly from the street level and located on the western side of the façade. The surround is rendered and painted white and there is a small moulded cornice over. There is some weathering and a small amount of vegetation attached to this render. A rectangular window located above the transom over the door and there is an original door bell button located on the eastern side of the door. There is a single window at the basement and ground floor levels, aligning across both floors. The first and second floors both have two windows again these align across the floors. All windows have painted (white) flat gauged brick arches above. 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 windows and it continues onto the buildings on either side. The first floor windows both have small and likely original cast iron railings positioned over the string course at their base. There is a rendered and painted parapet located above the second floor window. Several large cracks are apparent within this render as well as some vegetation growth located directly behind it. A central dormer window is located behind this parapet, within the lower, steeper angle of the mansard roof. A metal gutter down pipe is located over the western party wall. This runs through a gap in the brickwork just below the parapet down to the basement level. There is a large amount of vegetation attached to this down pipe. 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. Overall, despite some areas of untidiness where improvements could be made, this 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 possibly original and in timber painted blue with four moulded panels. There is a small rectangular window located above the transom over the door. This has a timber frame painted white and appears to be fixed. There are six windows located across the façade. All apart from the ground floor window are timber framed sashes divided into four large panes by timber glazing bars. These are likely later C19th insertions. The ground floor window is also a timber framed sash, though has only two large panes. The dormer window was not clearly seen but appears to consist of two timber framed casements. All of the timber frames are painted white, there are a few small chips and crack to this paintwork. All windows and the door are in a good condition with all panes present and intact.

The roof is mansard and in slate. There is metallic flashing at the join between the angles of the roof. A large central dormer window (discussed above) is located in the lower angle of the roof. Two brick stacks are visible over both party walls. The roof structure appears to be in a good condition with no signs of bowing or slipped slates. (1)
