5 And 6, Castle Place

5 and 6 Castle Place are a pair of semi-detached houses, now used as school offices, built around 1800. They are constructed from reddish-orange brick in Flemish bond, featuring dark red window arches, stone sills, and a cornice. The houses have a slate roof and a central brick chimney stack with an oversailing course and pots. Designed as a single unit, they rise three storeys and have two first-floor windows, with single-storey outshuts at the rear. The buildings have a plinth, with 8/8 sash windows on the ground and first floors, and 4/4 sash windows on the second floor, all set in plain reveals with flat arches made of gauged brick and stone sills. The entrances, located on the returns, feature 6-panel doors with raised and fielded upper panels and flush beaded lower panels, along with 3-pane overlights. The returns also include a 6/6 sash window on the first floor and casement windows in the gable. The outshuts have 8/8 sash windows. Inside, the houses retain moulded cornicing and original joinery, including panelled doors in moulded architraves, an open-well staircase with stick balusters, fret-cut brackets, and a swept newel.
