Mid C19th building located on the southern side of Castle Street in an exposed stock brick and a commercial ground floor. This building is slightly taller than its eastern neighbour but is the same height as its western. The ground floor door is located on the eastern side of the façade and there is a large window occupying most of the rest of the ground floor level, on the western side of the door. The area surrounding the window and door at the ground floor level, including the pilasters over the party walls, the stall risers below the window, the commercial fascia and the cornice at the top of the ground floor, are painted black. A large modern awning is located at the top of the ground floor level, providing a covered are in front of the building. The upper floors are in an exposed brick, there is a small amount of staining on this brickwork. There are two windows per floor, aligning across the floors. Both have flat gauged brick arches above which have been painted white. A painted and rendered band and moulded cornice is located over the top of the second floor level. A small dormer window is located centrally at the roof level, behind this cornice. A gutter down pipe runs through a small gap in the brickwork just below the cornice, down to the basement level over the western party wall. Several modern features are attached to the façade at various locations including a security system, multiple large lights, aerials and a large sign. The wiring associated with many of these features is draped untidily across the façade. Overall this building appears to be structurally sound and in a good condition.

The door, which is located on the western side of the façade, is in timber painted black with a large glazed panel in its upper half. Most of the rest of the ground floor level is occupied with a large commercial window, on the western side of the door. This is divided into four large panes, all of which appear to be fixed. There are four windows across the first and second floor levels, two per floor. All appear to be original timber framed sashes divided into 12 rectangular panes by timber glazing bars (three wide by four high). All of the timber frames are painted white, this paintwork is in a good condition. The dormer window appears to be a later plastic insertion. Overall all windows and the door are in a good condition with all panes present and intact.

The roof level is mansard and in slate, there is metallic flashing at the join between the angles. A small central dormer is located within the lower angle (discussed above). Two metallic aerials are attached to the roof level, next to the dormer on its western side. The eastern (side) elevation of the roof is visible over the eastern neighbour which is not as tall, this is clad in modern slate. A rendered stack is located over the western party wall, this appears to be shared with the western neighbour. Overall the roof appears to be in a good condition with no signs of bowing or slipped slates. (1)
