Description

The building known as the stables to the rear of 43 and 44 Broad Street in Newtown is a good example of 19th-century architecture. It is a three-storey structure built in five bays with Flemish bond brickwork. Stock brick pilasters separate the bays, and the building features a slate roof with bargeboards and boxed eaves, as well as a freestone eaves band. There are moulded caps on three brick stacks situated mid-roof, and a lateral stack is located at the rear right.

The first-floor windows are designed with blue brick round arches, freestone imposts, and keystones, while the narrow central bays have a cambered arch. The two-light casement windows have fanlights and a sill band. The ground floor on the left side includes a 19th-century shopfront with two-light bays flanking a recessed glazed door, featuring a rectangular fan, blindbox, and nameboard. A plain round arch leads to a central tunnel passage with a plank door, and the right-hand bays have arches similar to those on the first floor. There is a robust fanlight over a panelled door with sidelights to the left, and a similar fanlight with a three-light window to the left.

At the rear, there is a three-storey outshot attached to No 43, featuring small paned sash windows with gauged brick voussoirs. The contemporary stables behind No 43 consist of three lofted units with windows flanking the doors, constructed from English garden wall bond brick with a whitewashed ground floor. The stables have a gabled roof that is partly slate and partly asbestos, and they include round-arched windows and cambered doorheads. Later modifications include double doors cut into the end wall and subsequent blocking on the front right, as well as a loading door above the central stable door.
