5, Castle Street

No. 5 Castle Street is a house built in 1818 for James Grieve Burn. It is constructed of squared stone, with the front featuring near-ashlar quality, and has a Welsh slate roof. The building has two storeys and four bays, with a plinth and a first-floor band. At the right end, there are four steps leading up to a door made of six beaded panels, topped with a patterned fanlight and framed by columns and an open-pedimented hood. The left end features a three-centred carriage arch that holds boarded double gates with a swept spiked top rail. The windows are 12-pane sash windows with slightly projecting sills. There is a moulded eaves cornice below a balustrade, which has panelled end piers and a moulded handrail, and there are end stacks.

Inside, the doors and shutters have beaded mouldings. The sitting room includes a dado rail and a moulded cornice. The dog-leg staircase features stick balusters, moulded newels, and a moulded ramped handrail. The cellar has a stone-vaulted section with brick wine bins.

There is an early 20th-century rear wing that links to a coach-house, but this part is not of special interest.
