History
A house built together with No 27 in the mid C19 and little altered on the street front since apart from the insertion of a corner shop in the late C19.

Two storeys, L-shaped plan with three windows to the High Street and three to White Horse Lane. Doorway to the centre of the ground floor with a shallow hood on ornate console brackets. Plank door with decorative planted detail. Inserted corner shop, with the entrance canted across the corner and flanked by a plate glass window to the High Street and a 3-light one with timber mullions to White Horse Lane. Windows to the High Street are sashes with marginal glazing, in moulded architraves. Similar windows to White Horse Lane on the upper floor but the original sashes have been replaced in the two left hand ones; the ground floor window is a modern 3-light casement. Paired brackets to overhanging eaves, low pitch roof. The rear elevation is also rendered and has modern 3-light casements in the gable end and the main range.
Interior
Not inspected at time of resurvey. The ground floor is an open plan shop.
Reason for designation
Included as a probably mid C19 house and shop retaining significant historic character and having strong group value with the surrounding historic buildings in the centre of Caerleon.
