Description
No. 6 Union Place is a terrace house built around 1800, located at a corner position next to the Congregational chapel in Castle Square. It is one of six houses constructed as part of the planned circus of the Castle Estate by Joseph Medworth, who lived from approximately 1754 to 1827. The house is made of local brown brick and features a slate roof with a side stack.
The building has three storeys and a basement, with a symmetrical three-bay facade facing Union Place. It includes a painted stone cill band and a rendered plinth. On the second floor, there are two sixteen-paned recessed hung sash windows in cambered, red gauged brick arches, flanking a central blind window with a brick panel. The first floor and ground floor each have three similar but larger windows, with a twelve-paned hung sash window above the entrance.
The entrance features a wooden doorcase with fluted pilasters and a broken pediment, a plain round-headed fanlight, and a five-panelled door. Inside, there is an original six-panelled door and a sunk-panelled chimney piece.
