Description

The Castle Inn is a public house built from blue lias squared stone, featuring a slate roof and brick stacks on the side walls. It has a gable facade facing the street, with two storeys and an attic, arranged in a three-window range. The broad gable is adorned with bargeboards, and the attic includes a tripartite lunette with a slate sill and a brick arch. The first floor has three windows beneath a continuous timber lintel, with plate glass sashes and slate sills. The ground floor mirrors the first floor's layout, featuring a continuous timber lintel and sashes; it retains a 12-pane sash window on the right, while the left side has a canted timber bay window, which is not original but likely dates from the early to mid 19th century. This bay window has a fascia and cornice, with its glazing bars replaced by 20th-century stained hardwood. The central door has six long panels, a traceried overlight, and a doorcase with panelled timber pilasters, brackets, and a shelf hood.

The north side wall facing the river is mostly blank, with only one ground floor window. The south side features a door with a timber lintel and one altered window above.
