Castlegate House and Railings to West

Castlegate House is a late 18th-century building with early and later 19th-century additions and internal alterations. The west front features a cement-rendered façade with channelled rustication on the ground floor, a broad moulded band above it, and incised rendered first and second floors with rusticated quoins. There is a cill-band under the second floor and a heavy moulded cornice-parapet above slate roofs, which have an end stack to the left. The house has three storeys and a four-window front, with glazing bar sashes set in moulded surrounds. The entrance is located in the second bay from the left and includes a projecting porch with an entablature hood supported by baseless fluted Doric columns. The ground-floor entablature band continues slightly set back to the right and left over recessed arches, which feature impost-blocks and square rosettes in the spandrels to the right. Arrow-head railings flank the porch, with mid-set piers that hold lamp-brackets with scrolled supports made of cast iron. The north front consists of a late 18th-century block with a rendered ground floor and a flint first floor, accented by red brick lacing courses. The south front is an early 19th-century block that connects to the west front. The brickwork includes grey headers with red stretchers.
