House, now flats. Mid C18, altered C20. Coursed squared
sandstone with ashlar ground floor and dressings, coursed
rubble to rear. Stone slate roof and gable chimneys.
Double-depth plan with, originally, a staircase projection at
the rear.
3 storeys plus attic above a cellar, and 4 bays (though
proportioned as for 5) with raised quoins to the right, a band
above the ground-floor windows and another linking the lintels
of the second-floor windows below an eaves cornice with a
gutter carried on slender iron brackets. The return wall on
the right has a window on each floor, that on the first floor
being somewhat taller. All windows have raised plain surrounds
and (except for those to right of door) 12-pane sashes. The
attic is lit by a dormer with sloping roof. The central
doorway has raised plain surround and 12-panelled door. The
windows to right have, on all floors, tripartite stone
surrounds, with 20-pane sashes and blocked sidelights. The
rear shows signs of alteration at an early date, including
vertical joints which suggest that the staircase, lit by a
2-stage window, was originally in a central projection.
INTERIOR: full-height dogleg staircase with closed string, 2
turned balusters per tread, broad moulded and ramped handrail,
fluted rectangular newels and a wreathed curtail at the foot.
HISTORY: known as the Castle Temperance Hotel until 1950.
