Description
Castle House Flats is an 18th-century house that has been converted into flats and incorporates part of a 12th-century castle wall. The building is constructed from rubble and features a graduated Welsh slate roof with four stone-coped gables and various stone stacks. It is two stories tall with an attic and has a five-window range. The windows include wood mullion and mullion and transom casements with lattice glazing, with two of these set in chamfered stone reveals. There are four bays with similar mullion and transom windows, and a 20th-century entrance featuring a half-glazed door. To the right, there is a two-storey wing that has various mullion and transom windows beneath a stone parapet. The rear side, which is the castle wall, has a two-leaf panelled door set under a four-centred arch with chamfered quoins and a shouldered hood moulding, along with two wood mullion casements that have leaded lattice glazing. A tower to the right contains various lights and two leaded light casements.
