Description

Castle House is a substantial attached house dating from the late 19th century. It features painted stucco and roughcast with a slate valley roof behind a parapet and two stuccoed stacks on the right end wall. The building has four storeys and a basement, arranged in a three-window range with a recessed centre bay. The ground floor is channelled with a raised sill course above, while the first and second floors are roughcast. A moulded cornice is located below the plain attic storey, which has a parapet.

The attic contains three square 6-pane sash windows, the second floor has three 12-pane sashes, and the first floor features sashes with 6 panes in the upper halves only in both outer bays. The ground floor has a longer sash window to the right and an entrance to the left. In the centre, there is a two-storey late 19th-century canted bay window with a moulded cornice, a panelled frieze, and a top cast-iron low railing. There are also panels between floors and to the pilasters between sashes, with small panes in the top sash only. The recessed doorway to the left is accessed by six steps that bridge the basement area and features a five-panel door with fielded panels and an overlight with glazing bars. The basement has three 12-pane sash windows.

The right end wall includes one small attic 4-pane sash window, with the first and second floors in painted roughcast and the ground and basement in painted stucco, the basement raised as a plinth. The rear elevation is constructed of stone rubble with red brick voussoirs around the openings.

The front garden is enclosed by a dwarf stone wall topped with wrought iron railings featuring spiked finials and urn stanchions. There are double gates to the left with an upswept top rail, similar uprights, and dog bars.

Inside, there is an open string staircase with stick balusters, tapered square newels, and a slender handrail. The tiled fireplace has a pilastered wooden surround. The doors are four- and six-panelled. The hall features a ceiling cornice and a depressed arch on wooden reeded pilasters, while other rooms have reeded cornices and panelled shutters.
