Description

Pitched replacement slate roof, with smooth rendered chimneystacks, and cast-iron rainwater goods. Roughcast rendered walls with smooth rendered plinth course. Square-headed window openings with six-over-six pane timber sliding sash windows to first floor, three-over-three pane to top floor, with painted stone sills. Square-headed door opening with replacement uPVC door and overlight. Carriage arch is segmental headed with double-leaf battened timber door, and stone wheelguard. Former shop comprises square-headed four-pane fixed timber display windows with concrete sills flanking square-headed door opening with replacement double-leaf timber battened door, and glazed overlight, with timber fasciaboard above. House is part of two-house centrepiece, within recessed space at centre of Newbliss.
Appraisal
Part of a two-house set-piece at the centre of Newbliss, this house displays many features characteristic of small towns, such as the integral carriage arch and disused shopfront. The retention of timber sash windows, the former shopfront, and the carriage arch doors with wheelguard to front, adds to the architectural heritage significance of this building.
