house, public house

End of terrace five-bay three-storey house and coaching inn, built c.1820, with integral carriage arch to middle of ground floor, public house to west end of ground floor and blocked former shopfront to east end. Pitched slate roof with smooth rendered chimneystacks. Rubble limestone walls, with stone sill course to first floor, refaced stone to public house front, and roughcast rendered south-west gable. Square-headed window openings to upper floors with red brick block-and-start surrounds and six-over-six pane timber sliding sash windows, square-headed six-over-six pane with render surround in former doorway of former shopfront to easternmost bay of ground floor, and six-over-three pane with stone sills to top floor. Red brick framing to ground floor middle openings and to former shopfront. Integral carriage arch is segmental-arched with double-leaf battened timber doors, and other door openings have timber battened doors and geometrically glazed overlights. Replacement timber display windows and door to public house.

This building, on the main street in Newbliss, is an especially attractive architectural composition. The use of stone and brick is similar to that of the market house. The carriage arch and matching former shopfronts provides a strong symmetry. The retention of good joinery work in the timber sash windows, battened doors and the attractive overlights, makes this a building of significant visual appeal.
