SS5632 NEWPORT ROAD, Newport
684-1/5/273 (North East side)
31/12/73 Nos.43 AND 44
GV II
2 adjoining houses, originally one. Mid C16 with later
alterations. Rendered mass wall construction; slate roof
gabled at ends; front lateral stack with rendered shaft;
cast-iron rainwater goods.
Appears to be a 3-room-and-through-passage plan house, the
hall, to the left (No.43) truncated (abuts a late C19 house)
with inner room missing. It is possible that the house had an
open hall. Stair now rises to rear of left-hand room (the
hall). The lower end has one small unheated room in No.43,
probably buttery and a larger room, probably the former
kitchen in No.44 (inaccessible at time of survey).
Asymmetrical 6-window range. No.43 has a front door to right
of the lateral stack with a chamfered oak surround and canted
ground-floor bay to its right with 12-pane sash in the centre
and 8-pane in the side lights. Window and door are covered by
a deep slate pentice. Small-pane window to left of stack. 3
first-floor 12-pane sashes. No.44 has a central front door
with glazed panels and a pretty projecting porch hood.
Ground-floor window right is a canted bay with projecting
cornice, glazed with fixed windows with glazing bars. Other
windows unfortunately reglazed with plastic windows.
INTERIOR: No.43 inspected. Retains historic features of
interest including plank and muntin screen to either side of
the entrance passage with a third screen to the party wall
with No.44. The left-hand partition is also thought to have
been timber at one time. Fireplace with replaced lintel has
some evidence of former bread oven; chamfered stopped cross
beams. One probably reused door jamb on the first floor is
marked with complex carpenters' marks. Roof construction has
probable C16 trusses with steeply cambered collars and
straight principal rafters, apex not seen. It is not clear
whether the trusses are sooted or not.
This is an important historic building in the old centre of
Newport.
