Description
No. 6 Newgate is a house that has been converted into a shop and flat. It dates from the early 18th century, with a shop front added in the late 19th century. The exterior features painted incised stucco with a plinth and painted ashlar dressings. The roof is covered with asbestos tiles that mimic Welsh slate, and it has stone gable copings and brick chimneys.
The building has three storeys and a two-window range, with a front that has a noticeable batter. On the left side, there is a renewed yard-passage door set in plain reveals. To the right of this door is a four-panel house door with a small overlight, framed by a reeded surround with corner patera. The shop front on the right includes panelled pilasters with foliage capitals, leading to a half-glazed door that has two lower panels and an opening overlight. There is also a plate-glass shop window to the left, which is situated under a fascia and a plain hood that breaks forward over the window.
The first floor has cross-casement windows, while the second floor features four-pane sash windows that are positioned close to the eaves. These windows have plain reveals and projecting stone sills. The steeply pitched roof is adorned with stone gable copings on moulded kneelers, and it has end chimneys, with the right chimney being larger and featuring stone bands. The interior has not been inspected.
