111 Castle Hill

This is a substantial townhouse built in the early 19th century, later converted to a school by 1848 and then to flats by the 1970s.

The house is constructed of stucco and painted brick, with the principal northern and western elevations rendered in stucco and Field Road elevation rendered, while the rear (southern) elevation is of painted brick. The roof covering is lead. The building has a square plan and incorporates two full-height projections on the rear elevation: a bow window spanning the western half, and an angled bay window on the eastern half. It also features a two-storey projection in the centre of the western elevation.

The design is neoclassical, with three storeys plus a basement across three bays, topped by a hipped roof. The main Castle Hill elevation has rusticated stucco to the raised ground floor and upper part of the basement, while the first and second floors, along with the entire western elevation, are smooth rendered. The central entrance features a six-panelled door with a simple fanlight above, sheltered by a simplified Doric porch with fluted columns and pilasters, accessed by a steep stone staircase without a handrail. Symmetrically placed on either side of the doorway are two pairs of six-over-six sash windows with margin glazing, alongside smaller modern casement windows. The basement contains two modern casements set within stucco keystones matching those on the raised ground floor. The first and second floors have three sash windows each, with two smaller modern casement windows added later to the left (west) of the central windows. A parapet with cornice sits above the second-floor windows.

The Field Road elevation is smooth rendered and features a line of painted brick dentils just below the eaves. It has six irregularly-placed windows on the ground, first, and second floors, including a round-arched sash with arched glazing at the top of the central second-floor window.

The rear (southern) elevation presents a full-height bow on the left (west) and a full-height canted bay on the right (east), both featuring large modern casement windows on all three floors.

A Victorian brick wall, constructed in Flemish garden wall bond, runs along the western boundary of the house.
