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 and basement level is painted (light green). A ‘Castle Street’ street sign is located on the brickwork at the ground floor level. 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. There is a further door at the basement level, beneath the ground floor windows, with two windows on either side of it, immediately abutting the door jambs. This door 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 (green) 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. The basement level is separated from the street by a set of (possibly original) cast iron spear head railings (painted green). These railings continue on either side of the steps up to the ground floor door. 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 modern and in timber painted green with six moulded panels. It is round headed with a small semi-circular window located above the transom over the door divided into four triangular panes by timber glazing bars. This has a timber frame painted white and appears to be fixed. A further door is located at the basement level, this is also in timber painted green. It has four panels the upper two of which are glazed. There are two small windows on either side of this door, both are in an opaque glass and have a fixed timber frame painted white. All of these basement level openings are likely later insertions. There are three windows, across the main façade and all are located on the western side 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 white, 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 and a single large fixed pane in a timber frame. 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 though it appears to be in slate and gabled with the gable ends over the eastern and western party walls. Two tall rendered stacks are located over each of the party walls. A small dormer window is also located at the roof level (discussed above). (1)
