Description

This is a canal-side warehouse, originally known as Seymour and Castle Warehouse, built around 1790, shortly after the completion of the canal in 1770.

The warehouse is two storeys high, plus an attic, and ten bays wide, constructed of red brick with a 20th-century pantile roof, raised coped gables, and a single truncated gable stack. Dentilled brick eaves run around both the canal-side and road-side elevations.

The south-west gable front has a doorway on each floor, with plank doors and segmental heads which have been slightly altered, particularly around the arches. The ground floor doorway is double, with a small blocked window opening to the left, also with a segmental arch, and another blocked opening above. At first-floor level on the south-east elevation, eight small segmental-headed windows are separated by a central wooden-plank taking-in door. Four small, semi-circular dormer windows are set above the eaves line. The ground floor openings have been altered slightly, with the central taking-in door surviving as a double plank door, and a second door created at the western end, possibly replacing an original window. Access to this side of the building was restricted, obscuring architectural details on the ground floor.

The north-west, canal-front elevation features central taking-in door openings on both floors. The original doors have been replaced by floor-to-ceiling windows, respecting the original openings. A small balcony is accessible from the ground-floor door. Four segmental arched, glazing-bar windows (later 20th-century replacements) are situated on either side and on both floors. Four small semi-circular dormer windows are positioned above the eaves line.

The north-east gable front has a plank door and a large segmental-headed opening above, now containing two small vertical windows. A three-light casement window is set in the gable.

Internally, the warehouse has been converted into a single dwelling. Each floor remains open-plan with minimal partitions, revealing the original timber floor structure, including heavy cross-beams, joists, and floorboards (covered by modern flooring). The roof structure is exposed, comprising collar and tie beam trusses, alongside later-added vertical struts that give the appearance of queen posts. A single tier of staggered purlins is also present. A contemporary open metal and glass staircase rises from the centre of the ground floor, while the staircase leading to the attic is located off-centre. Openings in the attic floor, positioned over the taking-in doors, may be an original feature highlighted during the conversion. These openings would have facilitated the lifting of stock through the taking-in doors to reach either the upper floor of the warehouse or directly to the road or canal.
