History
An early/mid C18 house for which the painted date 1734 could well be appropriate although its meaning is not known. The shopfront was inserted in the early/mid C19 and the building has been little altered since.
Exterior
The building is faced in stucco, presumably over local rubble stone, and has a Welsh slate roof with red brick stacks. Two storey, central entrance plan. The ground floor has two bowed shop windows with 3-lights with a transom, rendered stall-risers, fluted pilasters and cornice, door between. The upper floor has two windows, sashes with 2 over 2 panes. Between these is the painted date 1734. Moulded timber cornice, parapet, the roof has a heightened red brick stack to the right gable and a rebuilt one to the left which may be a part of the adjoining property. Rear elevation not seen.
Interior
Not inspected at time of resurvey. The ground floor is an open plan shop.
Reason for designation
Included as an early/mid C18 house retaining significant historic character and having strong group value with the surrounding historic buildings in the centre of Caerleon.
