11 Castle Street

A 1½-storey 3-window house of cement rendered walls and steep slate roof behind coped gable to the R, restored stone stack L of centre, C19 stone stack to the R end, and original gable stack to the higher rear wing. A small brick stack is also on the R side to the rear roof slope, not visible from the front. The central entrance has a boarded door with strap hinges. It has a gabled canopy that has partly obscured an original stone tablet. This has, in raised letters and numerals, '1589 JB E'. A large central gabled dormer has a pair of small 4-pane sash windows. The entrance is flanked by projecting gables set back from the ends, probably added in the C18. Both have windows boarded up in the lower storey (originally for sashes), 12-pane horned sash windows to the attic, bargeboards with pendant finials. Further L is a passage with double doors and boarding up to the eaves. The passage has a replacement door in an earlier opening. Behind the main range is a 2-storey gabled 2-window projection with 16-pane hornless sashes to the 1st floor, 4-pane horned sash window lower R, and the lower L window with glazing removed. The roof of the main range has a new roof dormer over the passage. The rear wing side wall, facing the courtyard of the Bluebell Inn, has a blocked door in the lower storey and blocked window above. A later 1-storey projection is attached to the gable end. Facing the yard at the rear of the house, the wing has 4-panr sash windows, and the lower projection has boarded door and window openings in each storey, enlarged in the upper storey.

Not inspected, but RCAHM Wales survey c1950 and previous listing survey of 1975 recorded an original joist-beam ceiling in the L-hand room. The plan, with central passage, is later, and included an C18 or C19 staircase at the rear of the passage, with turned balusters.
