outbuilding

Detached two-bay single-storey rubble stone outbuilding, c.1880, with three-bay single-storey end block with dormer attic to north. Pitched slate roofs with clay ridge tiles, and fragments of cast-iron rainwater goods on exposed timber eaves. Random rubble stone walls. Square-headed window openings (slit-style to rear (west) elevation) with no sills, and red brick surrounds. Fittings now gone. Square-headed door openings (including to first floor to side (north) elevation) with one having red brick surrounds. Timber boarded doors with some replacement steel-sheeted doors, c.1980. Set back from road in shared grounds with forecourt to east, and random rubble stone boundary wall to perimeter of site having hoop iron gate.

This outbuilding, which retains its original form and character, is of significance as an example of the vernacular tradition in Newtown, as identified by the informal arrangement and proportions of the openings, together with the construction in readily-available, unrefined materials. The building retains many important salient features and materials, while the red brick dressings to some openings produce an attractive visual effect of subtle polychromy.
