Newton Greens Farmhouse

Newton Greens Farmhouse is a bastle house dating from the late 16th century or early 17th century, with alterations made in 1668, and further changes in the 18th and 19th centuries. A rear wing was added, and the east end was rebuilt, while the south elevation was remodeled in 1889. The structure is built of large rubble on a boulder plinth, raised in square tooled stone, with parts from 1889 featuring tooled ashlar dressings. The front roof slope is covered with pantiles, while the rear has Welsh slates and asbestos sheets on the outshut. Two stacks have been rebuilt in brick. The farmhouse has a T-plan layout, with the front block measuring approximately 17 by 6.5 metres.

The building is two storeys high and consists of three bays. The left side features roughly-shaped bastle quoins, while the right side has tooled 19th-century quoins. The central bay contains a five-panel door in a chamfered surround with a flat-pointed head, dated 1889, which shares a common hoodmould with a four-pane casement window to the left. Above the door is a re-set lintel inscribed with "M M 1668," and to the left are the jambs of the original upper door. The windows are 8-pane Yorkshire sash types in chamfered surrounds, with ground-floor windows in the end bays featuring hoodmoulds, and the first floor having blind slits in gabled half dormers. The end gables and dormers are coped on moulded kneelers. The left end stack has a stepped-and-corniced design, while the right end stack is rebuilt with a stepped-and-banded appearance.

On the right return, there is an 8-pane casement window with an 8-pane Yorkshire sash above, both set in 1889 surrounds. The left return features an 18th-century pent outshut, with an 8-pane casement set in a former doorway with a timber lintel and reverse-stepped coping at the ends. The rear elevation shows a blocked slit vent for the bastle byre on the right side of the wing, with a blocked window above it.

The interior is largely from the late 19th century, with bastle walls that are one metre thick. The attached farm buildings at the rear are not of special interest.
