Description

Castlegate House is a late 18th-century house, incorporating earlier 17th or older fabric, originally the Queen's Head Inn. The top floor was removed and replaced with a parapet in the later 19th century. The front facade is rendered and colourwashed, with cut stone dressings and a parapet. The left return features roughly-squared stone. The roof is felted, and there are one rendered and one yellow brick stack.

The house is two storeys and three bays, with a slightly irregular appearance. A renewed panelled door is positioned slightly right of centre, set within a stone surround with a gabled stone hood supported by cusped brackets. There are four-pane sash windows with tooled lintels and slightly-projecting sills. A tall, projecting parapet features a roll-moulded base and stepped moulded coping. A rendered stack is on the right end, and a smaller 20th-century stack is on the left. The left return reveals masonry of several dates; the earlier right portion has a chamfered plinth. A 19th-century three-light mullioned and transomed window is set within an alternating-block stone surround.

The interior has been largely altered, but an old brick-vaulted cellar remains. A rendered rear wing is not considered to have special architectural interest.
