113 Castle Hill

The property at 113 Castle Hill is a house rebuilt in the 1850s, although it may incorporate earlier fabric. The house is constructed of stucco with stone dressings, and has a slate roof with two tile-hung mansard roof dormers at the rear.

The main three-story-plus-basement facade, facing Castle Hill, is in an Italianate style. Channelled, Giant Order Tuscan pilasters rise through the ground and first floors to an entablature ornamented with floral bosses in a frieze. The pilasters continue up through an intermediate cornice between the ground- and first-floor levels. One pilaster is positioned at the corner of the house, extending onto the eastern elevation along with the entablature. The main entrance, in the western bay, is framed by a large moulded doorcase with a bracketed hood and is accessed by stone steps with modern rendered walls. To the left (east) is a round-arched sash window with a rusticated keystone and bracketed sill. The first and second floors each feature two sash windows with margin glazing; the second-floor windows are smaller and have moulded sills. Ornamental panels are positioned between the first- and second-floor windows.

The eastern elevation, facing Field Road, is smooth rendered. It has two margin-glazed sash windows within moulded surrounds on the ground floor and landing. Basement level has a scored render imitating ashlar and a mid-20th century glass block window for light. The base of the wall and part of the pavement are faced with modern tiles. A tall, rendered link wall connects to 1 Field Road.

The rear (southern) elevation is also smooth rendered and rises through two storeys plus a mansard roof. It has two six-over-six sash windows on the first floor, above which a line of brick dentils indicates the former eaves height before the mansard roof was added.

A rendered wall, scored to imitate ashlar, runs along the rear boundary between the property and Marven House to the south. The wall is approximately 2-3 metres high and includes a doorway with steps leading up from Field Road. A lower, rendered boundary wall borders Field Road in front of this taller wall.
