6, New Street

No. 6 New Street is a house dating from around 1470, originally built for Abbot Selwood, and is part of a row of two. It features coursed and squared Doulting rubble, an eaves course, and a stone tiled roof with two hipped dormers and a coped verge on the left, along with brick stacks. The facade is irregular and the building has two storeys and an attic with three bays. Most of the windows are 19th-century casements, except for the right bay, which has a stone four-light king mullioned window with a label above, and the left bay, which features a two-light ovolo moulded stone mullioned window. There are two moulded door openings with four-centred arches and decorated spandrels; the left opening has a 20th-century half-glazed door, while the right has a plank door. Inside, the right room on the ground floor has a cross beam ceiling and a broad fireplace set in a chamfered four-centred arch stone surround. There is also a four-centred wooden doorframe in the northeast corner, which is all that remains of a stud and panel partition.
