Newhall

This is a mid-17th century house, originally a farmhouse. It is built of English garden wall bond brick with stone dressings and a slate roof. The house has two storeys with a half basement and attic, and a symmetrical appearance with a recessed central section and projecting gabled wings to either side. The front is rendered and colourwashed, with bands dividing the ground and first floors and the first and attic floors. A flight of seven 20th-century steps leads to a central planked front door with studs and strap hinges. There is a basement window to the left of the staircase, and a 4x4-pane window above the door on the first floor. The right-hand gable wing has a 3x3-pane window in the basement, along with 3-light casement windows to the ground and first floors, and a circular window in the gable of the attic. The left-hand wing is similar, except for the chamfered mullion to the 2-light basement window and a square hatch doorway to the right of it. The gables feature stone kneelers and copings, rendered and flat apexes. The rear of the house has a similar arrangement of projecting gables, but the central section is only slightly recessed. The windows on the rear are 19th-century, cambered-headed in style. The roof has stone kneelers, copings, and surrounds for the porthole windows. An 18th-century addition exists to the left. Inside, a fine 17th-century staircase has twisted balusters, a moulded ramped handrail, panelled newels, and dado panelling.
