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 eastern 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 directly beneath 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, ground, first and second floor levels, aligning across all floors. The first and second floor level windows are set within a slight recess within the brickwork. The second floor window has a painted (white) flat gauged brick arch above. The first floor and basement level windows are likely later insertions and the first floor window consists of a three light canted oriel bay window with timber pilasters over the mullions and a decorative cornice with dentil detailing above. A rendered and painted (white) string course is located at the top of the ground floor, this is largely obscured by the large first floor bay but continues onto the buildings on the western side. A brick parapet with concrete coping is located over the top of the second floor. The brickwork at the basement level is painted white and 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. A modern security system is attached to the brickwork at the first floor level. A great deal of untidy wiring, mainly associated with this security system is also attached to the brickwork, mainly just above the string course over the ground floor. Overall this building appears to be structurally sound and in a good condition.

The door, which is located on the eastern side of the façade, is modern and in timber painted blue with six moulded 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. There is a further door 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 western side of the façade and align across the floors. The ground and second floor level windows appear to be original timber framed sashes (painted white) divided into multiple panes by timber glazing bars. The ground floor window is divided into 12 panes (three wide by four high) while the second floor window is not as tall and divided into nine panes (three wide by three high). The First floor window is a three light canted oriel bay window. Each of the three parts of the bay consists of a timber framed sash. The central portion of the bay is wider than the outer two and is divided into four large panes while each of the outer parts are two panes. The basement level window also appears to be a later insertion and is a timber frames casement with hinges attached to the jambs and divided into six panes. all of the timber frames are painted white, this paintwork is in a good condition. Overall all windows and doors 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. A tall brick stack is located over the western party wall. (1)
