Tall, relatively narrow mid C19th building located on the northern side of Castle Street in an exposed brick. The whole building is slightly recessed from its eastern neighbour but is flush with its western. The door is raised slightly from the street level and located on the eastern side of the façade within a slight recess in the brickwork. It is round headed and there is an original and decorative semi-circular window located above the transom over the door. Originally this building appears to have two doors, both located next to one another on the eastern side of the façade. The eastern of these has been converted into a tall window though it retains its round head and there is a semi circular window located above the transom. There is a further door located directly below the ground floor door, providing separate access to the basement level. This is accessed from the street level via a set of steep steps, the top of which is located on the western side of the building. There is a single window at the basement and ground floor levels, these align across the floors. The ground floor window is a three light canted oriel bay, this is likely a later (possibly late C19th) insertion. There are two windows at the first and second floors, again these align across the floors these windows have flat gauged brick arches above. There is rendered band, parapet and moulded cornice at the top of the second floor, directly over the second floor windows. A metal gutter down pipe is located over the western party wall. This runs through a gap in the brickwork just below the cornice, down to the basement level. The brickwork at the basement level is rendered and painted cream. 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. Several modern features are attached to the façade at various locations, including a security system and large metal flag pole Overall this building is well kept, appears to be structurally sound and is in a good condition.

The door, which is located on the eastern side of the façade, is a later insertion in timber painted white. It is largely glazed, this glazing is divided into 15 small rectangular panes (three wide by five high). There is an original and decorative semi circular window located above the transom over this door. Originally this building appears to have two doors, both located next to one another on the eastern side of the façade. The eastern of these has been converted into a tall window though it retains its round head and there is a semi circular window located above the transom, this consists of a single pane in a timber frame. This window is in a similar style to and is the same size as the door and is divided into 15 small rectangular panes. A further door is located below the ground floor door, providing separate access to the basement level. This was not clearly seen but appears to be in timber painted white. The basement level window is an original timber framed sash divided into 16 panes (four wide by four high) by timber glazing bars. The ground floor window is a later insertion and consists of a three light canted oriel bay. Each of the three parts of the bay is divided (horizontally) by a timber transom. The lower part is large while the upper is narrow and leaded. Both parts appear to be fixed within a timber frame painted white. The four windows at the first and second floor level are original timber framed sashes divided into multiple panes by timber glazing bars. The first floor windows, which are three panes wide by four high, are taller than the second floor windows which are three wide by three high. All of the timber frames are painted white. All windows and the door are in a good condition with all panes present and intact.

The roof is structure was not clearly seen as it is located behind a parapet. (1)
