Description

6 Lower Canal Road is part of a two-storey, asymmetric terrace located in Newtown. The terrace consists of Nos 4, 5, and 8, each with one window, while Nos 6 and 7 feature symmetrical two-window fronts. The buildings are constructed of English garden wall bond brick, which is painted on the front, and have gently pitched slate roofs with saw-toothed eaves cornices. Brick stacks are present, and the first-floor windows have two-light casements positioned below the eaves. The ground floor features broader two-light small-paned casement windows, with cambered header arches and plain reveals.

Later 19th-century timber porches with gabled fishscale slate roofs, bargeboards, and finials, as well as panelled sides, have been added. Nos 5, 7, and 8 have later brick plinths, while Nos 4 and 5 have 19th-century doors. The upper portions of the end elevations are slate hung. There is a cross wing at the rear of No 5, which has contemporary but modern windows and is also slate hung on the west side. Additionally, there is a yard that encloses a wash-house and latrines at the rear of No 4.
