Exterior
Belongs to a group of 47-49 Castle Street.
A reflected pair of 2-bay houses of 2 storeys with attics and basement, of rendered front, with channelled rustication in the lower storey, and mansard slate roofs on a moulded eaves cornice with 2 stacks on each end. Entrances are to the inner bays and have panelled doors with plain overlights, under canopies on deep corbels. Outer bays have 4-pane sash windows under keyed heads. First-floor windows have a sill band and architraves, which have consoles to stilted and moulded segmental heads with keystones, and 4-pane sashes. The attic, also with a sill band, has gabled half dormers in the outer bays with 4-pane sashes in architraves similar to the first floor windows. The basements have segmental-headed windows. The front retains original cast iron rainwater goods. No 47 also retains original forecourt railings, with spear finials, on a dwarf wall, and iron gate. No 49 has replacement railings.
In the gable ends the pebble-dashed walls are recessed between the stacks.
Interior
Not inspected.
Reason for designation
Listed for its special architectural interest as one of a pair of late C19 town houses of definite quality and character, and for its contribution to the historical integrity of Castle Street.
