Tall and relatively narrow mid C19th building located on the southern side of Castle Street in an exposed brick. The door is slightly raised from the street level and located on the western side of the façade within a slight recess within the brickwork. It is round headed and there is an original and decorative semi-circular window located above the transom over this door. There is a further door located directly below the ground floor door, providing separate access to the basement level. This is accessed from the street level via a set of steep steps, the top of which is located on the eastern side of the building. There is one window at the basement, ground and first floor levels, all are located on the eastern side of the façade. The ground and first floor windows consist of large three light canted bays, one on top of another. Both are likely later insertions, they have pilasters over the mullions and the upper has a moulded cornice. A single basement level window aligns with the central part of the bay window above it. A rendered and painted (white) string course is located over the ground floor, this is largely obscured by the bay window but is continues onto the buildings on either side. Two windows are located at the second floor level, the western aligns with the ground floor door, close to the western party wall. Both have flat gauged brick arches above. There is a rendered band, moulded cornice and rendered parapet at the top of the second floor level, all of which are painted white. There is some slight weathering and staining to this cornice and parapet, was well as a small amount of vegetation attached to it. Two large dormers are located behind this parapet at the roof level, within the lower angle of the mansard roof. A metal gutter down pipe runs through a gap in the brickwork just below this cornice, down to the basement level over the eastern party wall. The basement level is in a rendered and painted (white) brick and is separated from the street by a set of (possibly original) cast iron spear head railings. There is a fair amount of vegetation and moss attached to the areas surrounding the railings. These railings continue on either side of the steps up to the ground floor door. Several modern features are attached to the façade at various locations including a very large light attached to the brickwork at the top of the second floor, between the two second floor windows. Overall despite some small areas of untidiness this building appears to be structurally sound and is in a good condition.

The door, which is located on the western side of the façade is possibly original in timber painted red with five moulded panels. An original and decorative semi-circular window is located above the transom over the door. This is within a fixed timber frame painted white. A further door is located directly beneath the ground floor door, providing separate access to the basement level, this was not clearly seen. The basement, ground and first floor level windows are located on the eastern side of the door. The ground and first floor windows appear to be later insertions and consist of large three light canted bay windows. Each part of both bays consists of a timber framed sash, the central is wider than the outer and is divided into four rectangular panes while all of the outer are two panes. The basement level window was not clearly seen but is large. There are two windows at the second floor levels, both are timber framed sashes divided into four large panes by timber glazing bars. The two dormer windows are also timber frames sashes, each is divided into six panes by timber glazing bars. all timber frames are painted white, there are a few small chips to the paintwork. Overall all windows and the door are in a good condition with all panes present and intact.

The roof is mansard in slate with metallic flashing at the join between the angles. There are two dormer windows (discussed above) located within the lower angle of the roof. A tall brick stacks is visible over the eastern party wall. Overall the roof structure appears to be in a good condition with no obvious signs of bowing or slipped slates. (1)
