Tall, relatively narrow mid C19th building located on the northern side of Castle Street in an exposed brick, though the brickwork over the ground floor is painted. 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 an original and 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. The basement level was not clearly seen but 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 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 and all have painted flat gauged brick arch 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 window and continues onto the buildings on both sides. A brick parapet with concrete coping is located over the top of the second floor. The top of a small dormer window is visible over this parapet, this was not clearly seen though appears to be located centrally at the roof level and has flat metallic roof. A metal gutter down pipe runs through a gap in the brickwork just below the parapet, down to the basement level over the eastern party wall. The brickwork at the basement level was not clearly seen but 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 large amount of very untidy wiring is located at several locations across the façade. this appears to be associated with a aerial located at the roof level as well as a modern security system attached to the brickwork at the base of the first 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 possibly original and in timber painted cream. The upper part of the door is glazed and divided into 9 rectangular panes by timber glazing bars. It is round headed with a small, original and highly decorative semi-circular window located above the transom over the door. This has a timber frame painted white and appears to be fixed. There are three (visible) windows, all are located on the western side of the façade and align across the floors. all appear to be original timber framed sashes divided into multiple panes by timber glazing bars. The ground and first floor windows are both divided into 12 panes (three wide by four high) the second floor window is not as tall and is divided into nine panes (three wide by three high). All of the timber window frames are painted, some of this paintwork is untidy though it appears to be in a good condition. there is a central dormer window located at the roof level. This was not clearly seen but is roughly centrally placed and appears to have a flat metallic roof. Overall all windows and doors are in a good condition with all panes present and intact, though the basement level openings were not seen.

The roof level was not clearly seen as it is located behind a parapet. Two tall brick stacks are located over each of the party walls. There is a tall aerial attached to the eastern of these two stacks. A small dormer window is also located at the roof level, again this was not clearly seen. (1)
