Description
Castleton House, which includes gates, is a building that dates from the 17th to the 19th century. Located at the west end, next to number 6, there is a bay that matches the design of numbers 1 to 6 Castleton Terrace, dating from the early to mid-19th century. The house features a slate roof and a roughcast front, with a window above and a vehicular entry below.
The core of the house, facing Castleton Road, is from the 17th century and consists of a lower structure with two storeys and an attic, roughly two bays wide. There is a wall and entrance gates projecting from the ground floor of this section. An early 19th-century doorway to the west of the wall has moulded pilasters and a pedimented hood supported by shaped brackets. To the east of the wall, there is a four-light mullioned window. Further east is the main part of the house, which has a higher frontage. This section features a two-light mullioned window and a blocked four-light mullioned window on the front, facing Castleton Road.
The garden front, which faces east, is from the early 19th century and has a hipped slate roof. It is two storeys high with three windows, and the first-floor windows are paired. The ground floor has stone splayed bays, and there is a projecting stone porch with panelled pilasters and a moulded entablature. The entrance in Castleton Terrace is marked by 19th-century ironwork gates, with ashlar gate piers that have moulded capping and a short stretch of ashlar wall with moulded capping.
Castleton House is part of a group that includes Digby Estate numbers 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6 (Castleton).
