10-24, CASTLE STREET

Nos 10 to 24 Castle Street is a continuous range of small 18th century houses located above road level, featuring a terraced pavement along the front that is accessed by steps from the road at the lowest point. The buildings decrease in height as the road rises towards the town center. Most of the houses are two storeys with an attic. Nos 10, 12, 14, and 16 have gabled dormers. Nos 10 and 12 are rendered, while Nos 14 and 16 are rendered only on the ground floor. The remaining houses are constructed of vitreous brick with red dressings. All the houses have a raised plinth, moulded brick eaves, and old tile roofs. Most have one window and one door. Notably, No 22 features a rectangular bay window, and No 24 has a segmental bow window on the ground floor. The windows include some sash types and three-light casements. The doors are mainly four-panel, with some six-panel examples, and feature flat hoods of varying designs on Nos 14, 20, 22, and 24, some of which are dentilled and supported by scroll-cut brackets. Nos 2 to 24 form a group.
