The Central Bar, 2 Victoria Street, Newton Stewart

The Central Bar, located at 2 Victoria Street in Newton Stewart, is an early 19th-century, two-storey, three-bay inn featuring a distinctive bowed bay on the south gable facing Church Lane. The building is constructed of painted rubble with raised painted margins and rusticated quoins.

On the ground floor, there is a central wide doorway with a double-leaf panelled door and a fanlight above. To the left of the doorway are two plate glass windows, while to the right is a single window. The first floor has three regularly spaced sash and case windows, all with a two-pane glazing pattern. The building features a moulded eaves band, end skews, and coped end stacks topped with octagonal cans. The slate roofs are graded towards the front. There are also a pair of canted, piend-roofed dormers with billet moulding and modern glazing.

The side facing Church Lane has a full-height projecting bowed bay with tripartite windows, although the sidelights on the first floor are blind. A small door at the gablehead provides access to the parapet or balcony. Additionally, there is a single-storey wing extending towards Church Lane.
