64 65, Castle Street

Nos 64 and 65 on Castle Street are a symmetrical pair of 18th-century buildings. They are two storeys high with an attic, built of brick on a chamfered plinth. The buildings feature a moulded wooden eaves cornice and a half-hipped mansard roof covered with old tiles, while the gable ends are tile-hung. Each building has two dormers with three-light casement windows and two windows with red rubbed heads. The outer corners of the buildings have six-panel doors set in deep plain reveals, with doorcases that include pilasters and scroll brackets supporting delicate cornices and pediments. There is a plain frieze between the brackets, and the cornices are broken forward over the brackets. Three stone steps lead up to the doors, and No 65 has a cast iron knocker with a floral pattern. All the listed buildings on the east side of Castle Street form a group.
