Description
Nos 21 to 24 (consecutive) and 24A Newport Court is a terraced row of shops built in 1688 or shortly thereafter. The buildings feature original brown brick fronts and tiled roofs, standing three storeys tall with dormered attics. The row is nine windows wide, with a uniform appearance that is not equally spaced. The ground floor has later 20th-century neo-Regency shop fronts, while the upper floors display near-flush framed glazing bar sashes set under segmental gauged arches with brick keys. Notably, No. 21 has rusticated brick quoins on its left flank. There is a plat band at the second floor and a parapet with coping. The interior retains much of its original layout, including semi-spiral stairs in rectangular compartments and some elements of panelling. This row is a valuable example of modest late 17th-century housing and is part of Nicholas Barbon's 1682 development of the Newport House site.
