Cadw's description
Location
On the north side of the Market Place in the centre of Caerleon.
History
This house must date from close to 1600, but only the basic structure survives and all features are late C20.
Exterior
The building is cement rendered, presumably over local rubble stone, concrete tile roof. It has a two storey, single depth cross-passage plan. The street elevation has three windows, 3-light timber mullion windows with ovolo mouldings and leaded lattice casements, except for the left hand ground floor one which is 4-light. Central C17 type panelled door with vertical strips planted over the joints. All these features are post listing in 1974, but the first floor windows reproduce what was there before. Steeply pitched roof with stone stack to right hand ridge end. The rear elevation is also rendered and has two C17 type 2-light casements on the upper floor, these are also late C20 reproductions.
Interior
The interior was not seen at resurvey, except for the cross-passage which has oak framed partitions to either side which have square panels with plaster infill, the base plates have been replaced. The rest of the house is said to have been completely modernized post listing.
Reason for designation
Included as a probably late C16 house having strong group value in the centre of Caerleon.
