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 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 at the basement level, below the ground floor window. 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 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 both have painted flat gauged brick arch above. the ground floor window is a later insertion, possibly of a late C19th date, and consists of a large bow window with metallic flashing over its roof. A modern commercial fascia is located directly over this ground floor window, above which is a likely original moulded cornice and decorative (and again possibly original) consoles at either end. A brick parapet with concrete coping is located over the top of the second floor. The top of a large modern gabled dormer window is visible over this parapet, located on the western side of the roof level and clad with modern (possibly plastic) weatherboards). The brickwork at the basement level is painted cream and basement area is separated from the street by a set of (possibly original) cast iron spear head railings which have been painted red. These railings continue on either side of the steps up to the ground floor door. Several modern features are attached to the brickwork at various locations, including lights to illuminate the commercial signage, brackets for further signs and hanging baskets as well as a large metal flag pole. 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 likely a later insertion, it is largely glazed and in timber painted cream. The glazing is divided into 15 rectangular panes by timber glazing bars. It is round headed with a small semi-circular window located above the transom over the door. This has a timber frame painted red and appears to be fixed. A further door is located at the basement level below the ground floor door. This is a modern plastic insertion and has a small window immediately abutting its western jamb. There are three windows across the main façade, all are located on the western side of door and align across the floors. The first and second floor windows appear to be original timber framed sashes divided into multiple panes by timber glazing bars. The first floor window is divided into 12 panes (three wide by four high) while the second floor window is not as tall and is divided into nine panes (three wide by three high). Both these timber frames are painted white. The ground floor window is likely a later C19th insertion and consists of a large bow window divided into 25 small rectangular panes by timber glazing bars. the frame for this bow window is fixed and painted cream. There is a large and modern gabled dormer located at the roof level. Overall all windows and doors appear to be in a good condition with all panes present and in tact.

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. A large modern dormer window is located at the western end of the roof. (1)
