Description
No. 2 New Road is a house that has been converted into a shop. It dates from the 17th century and has been altered in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building features a timber frame that is faced with stucco, and it has roofs made of concrete interlocking tiles on the west side and Welsh slate on the east side and rear wing. The eaves on the west elevation are supported by paired brackets.
The building is two storeys high. On the first floor, there are five small paned casement windows that are flush set. The ground floor has a 19th-century shopfront, which includes a closed mullioned display window on the left and a projecting square bay on the right. The fascia of the shopfront is supported by a carved console on the right side, and there are blind boxes above a central recessed door. At the rear of the front block, there is a brick chimneystack. The rear block is also two storeys high, with a brick ground floor and a plastered first floor, topped with a hipped Welsh slate roof.
