Description
No. 6 New Street is a house that has been converted into a shop with a dental surgery above. It dates from the late 18th century and has been altered in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building is made of sandstone ashlar and has a slate roof. It has a double-depth plan with a shallow rear wing to the right. The structure is three storeys tall, above a cellar, and features three bays.
The ground floor currently has a mid-20th century shop front and a doorway to the upper floors on the right, which has an overlight. The door may be original, featuring four triangular panels set within an X-shaped frame and three vertical panels above, all raised and fielded, though it is likely not in its original position. There is a band above the ground-floor windows, a sill band on the first floor, and a projecting plain frieze above the second-floor windows. All the windows have plain reveals; the first-floor windows have Victorian four-pane sashes, while the second-floor windows retain their original nine-pane sashes. There are chimneys on both the left and right sides of the building.
