10 AND 10B, NEWTOWN

Nos 10 and 10B in Newtown are 17th century buildings with early 18th century additions. Originally two houses, they have a roughly L-shaped plan with inner elevations facing a grass forecourt that is low-walled and elevated above road level, featuring steps leading up to a side door. The buildings are constructed of rubble with stone-tiled roofs.

The left-hand main elevation has two storeys plus attics, topped with two gables. The attic features casement windows with moulded stone mullions and dripmoulds. The first floor has sash windows with glazing bars set in reveals, while the ground floor includes French doors. On either side of a projecting two-storey central porch, which has narrow angle pilasters and a plain band under a moulded cornice and blocking course, there are later 'lean-to' glasshouses. The window above the door has a semi-circular head and a moulded architrave surround, with a keystone and imposts, and a sash window with glazing bars. The door opening is square-headed, featuring a pulvinated frieze and a flat cornice above.

The right-hand elevation also has two storeys plus attics in two gables, with eaves projecting between the gables. The attic windows are casements in wood frames. On the first floor, there are two 3-light and one 2-light casement windows, all with moulded stone mullions and a continuous dripmould. The central doorway has a chamfered square opening and an original studded door. Each side of the door is flanked by a 4-light stone-mullioned casement, although the right-hand window has been altered to accommodate an additional door. A continuous dripmould runs above the windows, raised above the central door. The forecourt wall features carved ornamental urns at intervals.

Nos 10 and 10B form a group with Nos 13 and 14 to 18, which are consecutive.
