Description

No 8 and 9 Castle Terrace are a pair of houses built in the early 19th century. They are constructed of squared rubble and feature a stone-flagged roof along with stone chimney stacks. The buildings are two storeys tall and have three wide bays with flush quoins.

The central bay contains a pair of replaced doors set in flush tooled surrounds. Each end bay features small stone canted bay windows with 8 + 16 + 8-pane sashes and sloping stone-slab roofs. The central first-floor bay is blank, flanked by 16-pane sashes that have flush lintels and projecting sills. The low-pitched roof has coped gables and shaped kneelers, with end stacks that include top bands and water tables.
