Cadw's description
Location
On the southern approach to the Market Place at the centre of Caerleon.
History
An early C19 house clearly pre-existing the building of The Mynde wall in 1839 which abuts it on both sides.
Exterior
The house is roughcast rendered, presumably over local rubble stone and has a Welsh slate roof. Double depth central entrance plan. Two storeys, central 6-panelled door with two glazed panels, and an open pediment on shaped brackets, blocked semi-circular fanlight. Plain 6 over 6 pane sash windows flank the door, and these are repeated on the upper floor with a blind recessed panel above the doorway. Timber eaves, roof with gable ends, with a red brick stack to the left hand one. Rear elevation not seen.
Interior
Not inspected at time of resurvey.
Reason for designation
Included as a probably early C19 house retaining significant historic character and having strong group value with the surrounding historic buildings in the centre of Caerleon.
