Tall, relatively narrow mid C19th building located on the southern side of Castle Street in an exposed brick, though the brickwork over the ground floor and basement level is painted. The door, which is within a slight recess in the brickwork, is raised slightly from the street level and located on the western side of the façade. It is round headed and there is an original and highly decorative 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 eastern side of the building. A small window is located on the eastern side of the basement level door. There is a single window at the ground, first, second and third floor levels, all are on the eastern side of the façade and align 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 arches above. The third floor window also has a gauged flat brick arch above, the paintwork over this is in a poor condition and is flaking away. A rendered and painted string course is located over the ground floor level, this forms a continuous sill to the first floor window and continues onto the building to the west. The ground floor window is a large bow window with metallic flashing over its roof. A painted and rendered band and moulded cornice is located over the top of the second floor level, there is some weathering and staining to this. Originally this would have been located at the top of the building and the third floor is a later C19th addition. A gutter down pipe runs through a small gap in the brickwork just below this cornice, down to the basement level, over the western party wall. There is a fair amount of vegetation located within the hopper at the top of this down pipe and the brickwork surrounding it is stained, suggesting that it leaks or has leaked at some point in the past. The western (side) elevation of the third floor is visible over the top of the neighbouring building, this is rendered and painted cream. A fair amount of vegetation is attached to this render. The basement area is separated from the street by a set of (possibly original) cast iron railings. These railings continue on either side of the steps up to the ground floor door. Several modern features are attached to the brickwork, the wiring associated with these features is very untidy and is draped randomly across the face of the building at various locations. Overall, despite some areas of untidiness, 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 in timber painted black with a large glazed upper panel. It is round headed with an original and decorative 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 below the ground floor window, this is a modern plastic insertion. There is a small window located on the eastern side of this door, this is also a modern insertion with a plastic frame. There are four 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). The third floor window is a later insertion and is divided horizontally into two large panes. The ground floor consists of a very large bow window divided into 45 small rectangular panes by timber glazing bars. The frame for this bow window is fixed. All of the timber frames are painted black, some of this paintwork is chipped and untidy in several locations. 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, though it appears to be gabled with the gable ends over the eastern and western party walls. Two rendered stacks are located over each of the party walls. (1)
