Description
No. 1 Newgate Street is a house that was later converted into a shop, dating from the late 18th century. It is built of painted brick with painted ashlar dressings and features a Welsh slate roof with brick chimneys. The building has two storeys and is designed with a symmetrical arrangement of windows, consisting of two sets of two.
The ground floor has a shop front that includes late 20th-century fascia boards, which may be concealing earlier details, and a shop window with a recessed entrance on the left. The first floor features shallow bowed sash windows with 20 panes on curved projections, complete with stone sills and lead-flashed cornices. On the second floor, there is a smaller sash window on the left with a 3-over-6 pane configuration and a projecting stone sill, alongside paired narrow sashes on the right that have similar sills. The eaves have a gutter board, and the hipped roof includes a chimney at the right end and extends along the ridge towards the Market Place.
The left side of the building, which faces the Market Place, has a central recessed shop entrance. The first floor features two bowed sashes, while the second floor has two 9-pane sash windows that are similar to those found on Newgate Street.
