This house is a fine example of domestic architecture of the late-Victorian period and displaying the attractive detailing characteristic of that period, examples being the bay window with stained glass to the upper lights, dormer window and the uses of contrasting yellow and red brickwork. The brickwork and decorative iron railings add greatly to the architectural character of Castle Road.
