Appraisal
Number 41 Castle Road is at the centre of a terrace of houses built in a similar style, yet the details to this structure differ slightly from its neighbours. The granite course is unique to this building, as is the shouldered-arched door opening, and it is these details which allow the house to stand out from the terrace. The use of polychromatic brick work enlivens the façade of the building and the use of decorative cast-iron to the front site adds a quality to the design.
