Description
23 New Street is a semi-detached house that features an early 19th-century refronting of a 16th-century structure. The building is rendered and colourwashed over rubble, topped with a triple-roll clay tiled roof that has a high coped gable to the north and continues over No. 21 to the south, along with a brick chimney stack.
The exterior consists of two storeys and two bays. It has a plinth, with the ground floor showcasing 12-pane sash windows in plain openings. The first floor features 2-light cross-glazed casement windows. The entrance is located between the bays and consists of a part-glazed door set in a heavy frame, topped with a timber hood supported by brackets.
The interior has not been inspected but is likely to retain features from the 16th century.
