Description

The Castle Inn is a public house built around 1830-1840, with some alterations. It features coursed dressed sandstone and a combination of stone slate and Welsh slate roofs. The building has two storeys and three bays facing Bridge Street, with twin wings at the rear, creating a total of six bays on the right side along Castle Street. There is also an angled single-storey side wing on the left and an attached two-storey outbuilding set back to the rear left.

The entrance front is symmetrical, with large quoins and a central door that has an overlight in a stone surround with a hoodmould. There are late 19th-century to early 20th-century canted bay windows. On the first floor, there are 8/8 sash windows with projecting stone sills, all set in painted ashlar surrounds with hoodmoulds. The building has ashlar end stacks with twin diagonally-set flues featuring bands and cornices. A cast-iron winged wheel, the emblem of the Cyclists' Touring Club, is fixed to the right stack.

The right return has original openings, most of which have hoodmoulds, and two blind windows. The left return's angled wing includes two 8/8 sash windows with hoodmoulds. The interior has not been inspected, but the outbuilding contains various garage doors beneath three sash windows.
