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 an original and decorative semi-circular window located above the transom over the door. The brickwork surrounding the door is rendered and painted white. There is a further door at the basement level, beneath the door up to the ground floor. 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 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 all windows apart from the basement 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. A modern gutter down pipe runs through a small gap in the brickwork at the base of the parapet, down to the basement level over the western party wall. The basement level is rendered and painted white, it is separated from the street by a low wall and set of modern iron railings. These railings continue on either side of the steps up to the ground floor door. Several modern features are attached to the façade, including a security system as well as wiring associated with the security system and an aerial located at the roof level. 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 black with six moulded panels. It is round headed with an original and decorative small semi-circular window located above the transom over the door. 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 white. There are four windows, across the main façade and all are located on the western side and align across the floors. All apart from the basement level window 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). The basement level window is a later insertion with a metal frame. All window 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 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, a modern aerial is attached to the eastern of these two stacks. (1)
