Not much of great interest to look at from the front, but the rear of this building is much more spectacular. The core of the house dates from the early 16th century, and was re-faced in brick in the 19th, which completely hides the timber framed structure. Parts of the rear include some rare surviving 10- and 6-light windows, and diamond framing of the timbers. The whole was Grade II listed https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101054396-front-block-and-rear-range-newport#.YI5pqbVKjIU & https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1054396 in 1978.
