Description
Nos. 1, 2, and 3 Newbuildings is a block of houses built between 1870 and 1871. The houses are made of rendered red sandstone and have a gabled-end roof covered with synthetic red tiles. The rear extensions, which are unrendered sandstone, contain workshops and privies. The building is two storeys high with attics and features axial stacks with brick shafts.
The front of the block has a central gabled projection, with the eaves slightly lower than the flanking sections. Each floor of the central projection has two sash windows, while the main range has one window per floor, each being a two-light window with six panes per light. There are also two-light casement windows in the gable walls at either end. All windows, whether sash or casement, are made of timber and sit under shallow window arches.
This block is connected by a wall to Nos. 4-6 Newbuildings and is part of a longer sequence of eight blocks of houses that were built to replace dwellings destroyed in the Broadclyst fire of 1870. While the houses share basic features, each unit is carefully varied from the others.
