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. The steps up to the door are tiled with attractive black and white tiles, it is unclear as to whether these are original but they appear to be of some age. The door is round headed and there is a semi-circular window located above the transom over the door. The brickwork surrounding the door is rendered and painted cream. A further door is located directly beneath the ground floor level door, providing separate access to the basement level. This door was not clearly seen. It 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 and have painted flat gauged brick arches 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. The ground floor window is likely a later insertion and consists of a three light canted oriel bay with a flat metallic roof. A brick parapet with concrete coping is located over the top of the second floor. A metal gutter down pipe runs through a gap in the brickwork just below the parapet, down to the basement level over the western party wall. The basement level is in a painted (cream) brick and is separated from the street by a set of (possibly original) cast iron railings (painted grey). 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 timber painted cream with a large glazed upper panel. It is round headed with a small semi-circular window located above the transom over the door. This has a timber frame painted cream and appears to be fixed. A further door is located at the basement level, this was not clearly seen. There are four windows, across the main façade and all are located on the western side 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 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). The ground floor window is a large three light canted bay, this is likely a later insertion. Each part of the bay is fixed and divided horizontally to create a smaller upper pane which is leaded. The basement level window is also liley a later insertion and consists of two panes divided horizontally, the upper of which appears to be casement while the lower is fixed. All of the windows have timber frames painted cream, this paintwork is in a good condition. Overall all windows and the door 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 brick stacks are located over each of the party walls. (1)
