Description

Castle Kitchen is a house in a terraced row, designed as a mirrored pair with the house to the right. The front is painted rendered, topped with a slate eaves roof and features a brick stack on the rear roof slope. The building has two storeys and an attic, with one window bay and an outer doorway for each house. A central dormer contains a pair of small-paned iron casements on the eaves, adorned with 19th-century fretted bargeboards and a finial. Below, on the first floor, there is an iron cross-window with an iron opening light, set flush with the wall.

The ground floor features a six-panel door to the left, which has four glazed panels and has replaced a pair of half-glazed doors since 1983. This door is framed by an architrave and has a sloping shallow hood supported by plain curved brackets. To the centre right, there is an old oriel shop window, wider than that of the adjacent house, which is canted and consists of 3-18-3 panes with a deep fascia above and a small slate hipped roof. The oriel is supported by raking struts. The rear of the building is stuccoed and includes two 20th-century upper windows, along with a rubble stone rear wing to the left that is shared with the Country Works premises. There is also modern glazed infill in front of the rear wing.

In front of the house, there are stone setts. The interior includes a small front room with corner posts and a beam on the east wall leading to Bronwylfa. There is a rough beam with a groove for a partition. The rear room features a large timber-lintel fireplace on the west side, an axial beam, and a beam in the east wall on corner posts. The southwest corner has an early 19th-century staircase with square balusters, a thin rail, and a closed string. The first floor has similar wall-posts and a beam in the east wall, while the front room has a thin cross-axial beam and a fireplace on the north side of a large chimney breast. The staircase continues up to the attic in the southwest corner, which has timber-framing in the east gable.
