Newbrough Park And Attached Cottage

This is a house and attached cottage, built around 1790. It is believed to have been designed by the owner, Richard Lambert. A later, early 19th century link connects the main house to an earlier building and a gardener's cottage. The main block is constructed from ashlar, with a hipped slate roof and two ashlar ridge stacks. Ornamental cast-iron brackets are fixed to the gutters. The main house is two storeys high, with three bays, and a slightly recessed addition to the left. The linking section is two storeys high and four bays wide, connecting to a two-storey, irregular cottage which is largely blank on its road-facing side. The main entrance features a six-panel door, flanked by pilasters and a cornice head, beneath a wide fanlight with a renewed radial pattern, all set within an elliptical-arched recess. A six-panelled door with an oblong fanlight sits within a corniced stone porch to the link, and another six-panelled door is found in the return of the main block's addition. The windows are mostly six-pane sashes, though one renewed twelve-pane sash is located to the right of the main entrance, and there is a blind window to the left. The garden front is two storeys high with four irregular bays, featuring tall casements with blind casings on the ground floor (the third forming a French window), and six-pane sashes on the first floor. The link includes a brick wall faced in ashlar, with various openings, and the cottage is set further back. Inside, the drawing room has a contemporary honeysuckle and acanthus frieze. There are plain stairs with moulded and wreathed handrails, and a second similar stair in the link. Some minor late 17th or early 18th century features are present in the linking section.
