Newquay House

Newquay House is a large block of flats dating from the early to mid-20th century, designed by Louis de Soissons for the Duchy of Cornwall Estate. The building is characterised by a square design with a central courtyard. It is constructed of dark red brick, with a subtle pattern created by the use of darker and lighter brick headers. The architectural style evokes 18th-century English design. The roof is a mansard style covered with tiles, and features wide, flat dormers and a parapet. The building rises four storeys plus an attic, with nine bays on each of the central faces and three bays on the sides. Central entrances are prominent. The windows are sash windows with glazing bars, some arranged in groups of three. Rows of four Venetian windows with interlaced bars emphasize the central sections. The facade is further diversified by the use of canted bays with tile hanging between floors. A round arched main entrance is marked by the Prince of Wales feathers above. Bolection moulding and a name plaque are visible at the north entrance.
