7, Castlegate

No. 7 Castlegate is a house dating from the late 18th century, with later alterations and a mid-19th century shopfront. It was built for George Ewbank, a chemist. The building is constructed of orange-grey mottled brick, featuring Flemish bond at the front and English garden wall bond at the rear, with a timber shopfront and a moulded console cornice at the eaves, topped by a slate roof.

The exterior consists of a three-storey, two-bay front. The shopfront has plain pilasters and a frieze between bulbous consoles, beneath a flat cornice. To the left is a half-canted plate glass shop window next to a glazed shop door with an overlight. At the right end of the shopfront, there is a wide passage door with four incised panels and an overlight above. On the first floor, there is a three-light canted bay with one-pane sashes. The second floor features two 12-pane sashes with painted stone sills, slender glazing bars, and flat arches. A rainwater head on the building bears the initials "GE" and the date 1789. The interior has not been inspected.
