128-132 Castle Hill

This terrace of three houses was built in the early 19th century and has since been subdivided into flats and houses. The houses are constructed of stucco with a slate roof, and number 130 has wrought iron railings to its first-floor windows, while number 132 features a timber colonnade and balcony.

The terrace is three storeys high with a basement and a hipped roof. Number 132 has a two-storey side and rear extension with a pitched roof. The main elevation facing Castle Hill is loosely symmetrical, with number 130, the central property, projecting slightly and topped with a pediment, flanked by the narrower frontages of numbers 128 and 132. A decorative band runs horizontally across the first-floor sill level of all three houses.

Number 128 has a two-pane sash window on each floor, and a recessed round-arched doorway with a six-panelled door and a fanlight above. Number 130 has two modern sash windows on each floor; those on the first floor are full-height, rising above the decorative band and feature decorative iron balconies. The doorway, located on the left (western) side, is similar to that at number 128. Number 132 has a single two-pane sash window on each floor and the narrowest frontage. The west elevation steps out in three sections, starting with a two-storey bay window with three two-pane sash windows on each floor. To the north (rear) is a three-storey square projection with the main entrance to number 132 sheltered by a timber porch and a tall sash window illuminating a staircase. Adjoining to the north is a two-storey extension that steps out further to the west, featuring a full-height bay window flanked by ground-floor timber colonnades with decorative balconies above. The rear elevation is of exposed red brick with some rendered sections on the ground floors of numbers 130 and 132, and contains a variety of sash windows under brick flat arches, including two large ten-over-ten sash windows at numbers 128 and 130.
