Description
Castle Green, built around 1845, is a two-storey building with a wide stuccoed front that features scored lines to imitate ashlar stone. It has a hipped slate roof and a rendered end chimney, both of which have been reduced in size. The building sits on a low plinth and has a symmetrical five-window front, with 12-pane hornless sash windows that have moulded architraves and cut stone sills, which are corbelled to the first floor and connected by a continuous sill-course. The corners of the building are accentuated with raised angle quoins above grooved pier strips.
A central wooden portico is supported by Doric columns and features entablature blocks with triglyphs and an open triangular pediment. The elliptical doorway includes raised and fielded panelling in the reveals, a six-panelled door, and a fanlight with simple radiating glazing. There are two ground floor windows on the left end that match the front, and a 4-pane sash window above with a similar surround.
The rear of the building is constructed of rubble and is colourwashed, featuring a two-storey later 19th-century extension to the right. This extension has a central long stairwell sash window with a 9-pane over 6 configuration, both hornless. The left side has windows on both storeys, both 12-pane hornless sashes with cambered stone voussoired heads. There is a boarded door leading to the extension, a 12-pane hornless sash window to the right with a concrete lintel, and a 4-pane sash window above. Small rubble lean-tos are located below the stair window and to the extreme left.
The property is enhanced by fine early 19th-century cast iron railings at the front, which sweep up to an elaborate central cast iron hand-gate. Inside, there is a slightly curving early 19th-century stick-baluster staircase with decorative tread-ends and a handrail that scrolls around a plain newel post. The ground floor features six-panel doors with raised and fielded panels. The hall boasts good plasterwork, including a bracketed cornice and a corbelled segmental arch before the stair-lobby. The full-height stairwell has a bracketed cornice and a roundel with an inset plaster rose, with additional plasterwork present in other rooms.
