Description
21 New Street is a house that features an early 19th-century front added to 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 at the south end and continues to the north over No. 23. It has brick chimney stacks and a one-unit plan.
The exterior has two storeys and two bays, with a plinth at the base. The ground floor includes 12-pane sash windows in plain openings, while 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. There is a small pointed arch attic window in the south gable end.
Inside, a report notes a 16th-century open fireplace with scratch-moulded cupboards flanking it on the right, and a winder stair at the rear. To the left of the fireplace is a stack that was likely inserted into a former passage, with a beam that is morticed for a former partition to the right. The roof has three bays with notched tenoned apexes, two tiers of in-line tenoned purlins, and cranked tenoned collars.
