1-4 Castle Gate
Regenerated under the Townscape Heritage Initiative (THI), this building was originally designed as a boot workshop and warehouse by Patrick Elliot in 1907. Prominent three-storey corner property and adjoining terraced properties adjacent to the city walls at Castle Gate.
The properties comprise a red brick façade with render finish at ground floor / shop front level. Decorative pilasters and mouldings frame the shop fronts along with the first floor windows. Natural slate roof is concealed behind a decorative parapet detail.
Prior to refurbishment inappropriate shop frontage and unsightly external shuttering arrangements detracted from the overall architectural quality of the properties.
Refurbishment included: roofing repairs, re-pointing, window repair and replacement, renewal of parapet gutter, removal of external shutters and reinstatement of architectural detail
The property has two retail units, two office suites and a maisonette.
