Early to mid C19; mentioned as newly built in the Rev Robert Williams's book "The History and Antiquities of the town of Aberconwy" of 1835.
Belongs to a group of 23-25 Castle Street.
A pair of late-Georgian town houses of 2 storeys and 3 bays, of pebble-dashed walls painted cream, slate roof and roughcast end and central stacks. Both houses have a central entrance, of which No 25 has a fielded-panel door, No 23 replacement double-panel doors, both with 5-pane overlight, and restored segmental canopy on moulded wooden brackets (details were reinstated in No 25 to match No 23). Windows are renewed 16-pane hornless sashes with cambered heads.
In front of each house is a dwarf coped stone wall and restored wrought iron railings, which incorporate twisted spear and cast-iron urn finials. A gate has been added to each house in a similar style.
The rear is rubble stone. It has cambered 16-pane hornless sash windows on the R side and upper L. In the centre is a 4-pane sash window and small-pane window to its L (formerly a doorway) lighting the stair, below which is an added 1-storey projection.
The house has a double-depth plan organised around the central hall, at the back of which is a dog-leg stair with turned newel and plain balusters. The upper storey retains panel doors. Wooden stairs lead to the basement.
Listed for its special architectural interest as one of a pair of well-preserved early C19 town houses, retaining original forecourt railings, and for group value within the historical townscape.
