Description
13 New Street is a late 18th-century house that has been converted into flats in the late 20th or early 21st century. The building is constructed of brick, covered in off-white painted render, and has a slate roof.
The house is located at the end of a row of terraced buildings, facing west onto New Street. It has an L-shaped plan, consisting of the main range and a rear south wing. The three-storey, three-bay structure features a late Georgian style with classical proportions. Its symmetrical façade includes a moulded plinth and a stucco band between the ground and first-floor windows. The north gable end has a parapet and a chimney stack without pots. The windows are recessed six-over-six pane sash windows on the ground and first floors, and three-over-three pane sashes on the second floor, although none are original. The right-hand ground-floor bay window has margin lights. The centrally placed entrance features a modern six-panel door with a rectangular overlight that lacks glazing bars. The front door is flanked by panelled square pilasters, with additional pairs at each end of the façade. At the rear, there is a narrow two-storey extension made of red brick under a pitched roof, likely added in the late 19th century. The right return has two bricked-up windows under segmental brick arches.
Inside, the house has been converted into flats and retains little of the original joinery, fixtures, and fittings. Some skirting boards, cornicing, picture rails, and the staircase at the end of the long, narrow hall remain. The staircase features decorative carved tread ends and stick balusters that support the moulded handrail. The attic floor has exposed purlins, which are supported by modern bracing. There is a coal shaft in the brick vaulted coal cellar, which has been partitioned.
