Cadw's description
Location
The SW end of a terrace and on the corner of Upper Gate Street.
History
One of a terrace of 6 houses built in the 2nd half of the C19 and shown on the 1889 Ordnance Survey.
Exterior
Belongs to a group of 1-6 Newboro Terrace.
A terrace of six 2-storey 2-bay late-Victorian town houses in 3 pairs with stepped roof line, of pebble-dashed front with smooth-rendered eared architraves and 1st-floor sill bands, slate roof hipped to the L end (No 1) and shared roughcast stacks, except for a brick stack between Nos 2 and 3 and axial stack to No 1. Openings are offset to the L side in Nos 2-5, and offset to the R side in Nos 1 and 6.
No 1, painted white, is on the corner of Upper Gate Street and has rendered quoins. Its entrance in the R-hand bay has a panel door and overlight. The L-hand bay has a pair of 12-pane horned sashes in the lower storey (replacing a bay window shown in an early photograph) and porthole window further L (in the position of an original doorway). The 1st floor has single 12-pane horned sash windows. The 2-bay elevation to Upper Gate Street has renewed 12-pane horned sash windows.
Interior
Not inspected.
Reason for designation
Listed for its special architectural interest as part of a late C19 row of terraced houses retaining definite original character, and for its contribution to the overall historical townscape.
