The central doorway has an Ionic half column surround with segmental pediment, but the panelled door has been altered and no longer has an overlight.

Band between the floors going right across the building. Moulded cornice. Roof with paired stacks at either end. Three gabled dormers with 2 over 2 sashes, peak of stair wing roof behind the central door. Later lower wing to the left and an added house to the right. Rear elevation altered and plain.
Interior
Not inspected at time of resurvey, but said to have a well preserved interior including the dog-wheel in the kitchen.
Reason for designation
Included as a probably C18 house retaining significant historic character and having strong group value with the surrounding historic buildings in the centre of Caerleon.
