History

A probably early C18 house rewindowed in c1800 and given a double shopfront and other alterations in the late C20.

Exterior

The main elevation is wholly rendered, presumably over local rubble stone, machine tile roof with gable ends. Two storey front parallel to the street. The ground floor has been wholly remodelled in the C20 with on the left a modern plate glass shop window with an integral door to right under a large fascia. To the right is a small paned shopfront which is a replacement since listing in 1974. This has an integral double glazed door to the left and a large fascia. There is a small panel of render between the two shopfronts and a wider one to the left. Three windows above, these are 6 over 6 sashes in flush frames also replacements since listing in 1974. Timber eaves, plain roof of moderate pitch with plain bargeboard to the gable end. Rear elevation altered and extended in the late C20.

Interior

Not inspected at time of resurvey, but the whole of the ground floor has been opened out into one restaurant space in the late C20.

Reason for designation

Included as a probably early C18 house retaining significant historic character and having strong group value with the surrounding historic buildings in the centre of Caerleon.
