Description

7 New Street is a three-storey building constructed of colourwashed brick. It features a three-window front facing New Street, one window on a splayed corner, and four windows on Church Place. The gently pitched slate roofs are hipped at the corner and have a lead ridge, with brick stacks.

On the second floor, there are shallow six-pane sash windows with stone sills and plain reveals, although the extreme left window on Church Place is blocked. The building has plaster voussoirs above the windows at No. 7. The first floor of No. 6 has twelve-pane sashes with plaster voussoirs and rusticated architraves, situated above an early 20th-century shop front. The first floor windows of No. 7 have six small panes in the upper sashes only. Rusticated plaster voussoirs are present on Church Place but are missing on the splayed corner and New Street elevations. There is a dummy window with false sashes, located third from the left on Church Place.

The ground floor on Church Place has been significantly altered, and there is an asymmetrical gabled elevation facing the churchyard at the rear. A single twelve-pane sash window is present on the first floor. The late shopfront flanks a doorway set into the splayed corner.
