58, 60, 62 AND 64, CASTLE STREET

The property comprises four houses located at 58, 60, 62, and 64 Castle Street. Number 62 exhibits an early 17th-century core, significantly reworked in the 19th century, with 20th-century refurbishment. The construction is timber-framed and plastered, with a peg-tiled roof and red brick stacks, along with later brickwork. The plan is rectangular and follows a street range with a continuous rear lean-to. The houses are two storeys high with attics.

The north-facing front elevation has a four-window arrangement; originally, there were four doorways, with the doorway for number 62 now removed. The houses are grouped in pairs, sharing stacks. Numbers 58 and 60 have simple 19th-century boarded doors and 19th-century sliding sash windows with glazing bars, each with two windows on the ground floor and two on the first floor, each window containing 4x3 panes. There are two lead-gabled dormers; one has a 19th-century sliding sash window with 4x2 panes, and the other a 20th-century window with the same configuration. A stack rises behind the roof ridge. Number 64 features a boarded door and 20th-century replacement windows—two-light casements with rectangular leaded panes, with two ground-floor and two first-floor windows. There are also two lead-gabled dormers, and a stack rises behind the apex.

The south-facing rear elevation has a full-length peg-tiled catslide roof extending over a 19th-century brick, single-storey lean-to. Large rectangular stacks are visible through the roof pitch where the houses meet the lean-to. Numbers 58 and 60 each have a 20th-century clay-tiled gabled dormer window with a two-light casement window containing 4x3 panes. They also have boarded doors paired with adjacent 20th-century three-light casement windows. Numbers 64 and 62 have a 19th-century boarded door with a 3x2-pane light above, as well as two 20th-century two-light casement windows with 4x3 panes. Two large skylights are also present.

Interior features include early 17th-century timber framing with jowled posts and primary braced studs, as well as a 19th-century softwood rear addition. Fireplaces are present in numbers 62 and 64, with a diagonal back-to-back arrangement, featuring thin early 17th-century bricks and timber lintels. It is reported that the fireplaces in numbers 58 and 60 are similar.
