Newton House

Newton House is an 18th-century house that was enlarged and remodeled around 1800, with a porch added in the late 19th century. The front block is made of squared stone, while the wing is constructed of rubble and mostly rendered. The porch is made of ashlar, and the roof is covered with Welsh slate, featuring stacks that have been rebuilt in brick on their original bases. The building is designed in an L-plan.

The front elevation has two storeys and three symmetrical bays. It features a plinth and a first-floor band. The central flat-roofed porch has rounded corners with channeled rustication and is flanked by pilasters, topped with a moulded cornice and blocking course. There is a six-panel door beneath a plain fanlight in a moulded round arch with a keystone, located on the left return, and an arched window with a plain sash in front. The front also has four-pane sash windows with slightly projecting sills and a moulded eaves cornice. The hipped roof is fitted with two ridge stacks. The two-bay returns display similar window arrangements. The right return shows the join between the 18th-century and the c.1800 fabric between the bays, while a three-bay rear wing, set back to the right, features small-paned sashes and a gabled porch at the left end that holds a flush-panelled door with a plain overlight. The rear wing has a hip-ended roof with one ridge stack.

Inside, there are two fireplaces with elaborate plasterwork that is said to be created by Napoleonic prisoners of war. The drawing room fireplace features seashells and a female figure with an anchor, while the sitting room fireplace depicts a triple-spired cathedral along with hounds and birds. The hall has a harebell cornice and a ceiling rose. A stone dog-leg stair with stick balusters and a moulded wreathed handrail leads to the upper floors. Other rooms contain cornices and six-panel doors with beaded surrounds.
