Former Castle Inn

The Former Castle Inn is a building that dates back to around 1840, with a later addition from the 19th century. It is constructed from yellow stock brick in Flemish bond, while the addition features a rendered ground floor and plum-coloured brick at the rear. The roofs are made of Welsh slate. The main structure is two storeys tall and has a symmetrical elevation with three bays across the front. The lower addition is also two storeys and has a basement with two bays, featuring a canted corner bay at the front.

The main range has a stuccoed plinth and a central door framed by a stuccoed architrave. The door has a glazed upper half above two panels and an overlight with six round-ended panels. Flanking the door are 12-pane sash windows, with the left window having horns and the right one boarded up. On the first floor, there is a round-arched sign recess with a keyed architrave, flanked by full-height unhorned 12-pane sashes, all with stuccoed, keyed lintels. These windows lead to a balcony that features a stone pavement supported by four slender iron columns, although one column has fallen and another has been replaced. The balcony railing is adorned with decorative cast-iron balusters. The roof has an oversailing hipped design, and the stacks have been removed.

The addition's ground floor includes recessed panels with dripmoulds and a cornice, while the narrow right bay has a 4-pane sash window on each floor. At the rear, the main range has two segmental-arched windows on the ground floor and one above, all with unhorned 12-pane sashes, although the left window has been removed. A small gabled addition at the rear is not of special interest. The addition features round-arched basement openings, a 4-pane sash window on the ground floor to the left, and a former 2-pane sash window above. There is also a 20th-century pent-roofed addition on the right that is not of special interest.

On the right return of the main range, the windows have gauged bright-yellow brick arches. The ground floor windows are boarded up, while those on the first floor have 12-pane sashes. The interior was not inspected, and the building was unoccupied and in a state of disrepair at the time of inspection.
