Description
No. 37 Castle Street is an almshouse, now a private house, built around 1880, though it may include elements from an earlier structure. The building features a red brick ground floor, while the upper floors are rendered with an applied timber frame and decorative pargetting on the front. It has a plain tile roof with cresting and a red brick ridge stack on the right. The structure is one bay wide, two stories tall with an attic, and has a front that jetties out on brackets. There is a wall-head dormer with barge-boards. The ground floor includes a three-light 20th-century casement window with a canted brick sill and a 20th-century door, both set under segmental brick arches. The first floor has a two-light casement, and the attic features a single light casement. This building was constructed by the Saffron Walden Almshouse Trustees, who purchased the property in 1879, and it is included for its group value.
