Number 7 And Attached Archway

Number 7 and attached archway is a lodge, later converted into a house, built in 1856 by TC Hine of Nottingham as part of the initial development of Castle Park for the Duke of Newcastle. It is constructed of white brick with red and blue brick detailing, along with ashlar and stucco dressings. The building features a rubble and brick plinth and a chamfered brick eaves cornice, topped by slate roofs. The main facade has two windows per floor, and includes an octagonal turret with a truncated spire. The turret has three two-light ashlar mullioned windows with cusped heads on the lower level, and three plain sash windows above. Dormer windows with segmental pediments and ball finials are located above the windows on alternate faces. A rear door has ornamental hinges, and a two-light ashlar mullioned window with a cusped head is positioned to the right. A 20th-century canted bay window with three lights and a segmental pediment sits above the mullioned window. To the left is a double-chamfered segmental carriage arch spanning Castle Grove, featuring a stepped gable with moulded coping and a ball finial, and a small chamfered datestone marked with the year 1856.
