Newton Hall Farm Cottage

The building is a cottage, originally a rear wing to Newton Hall Farm. It dates to the 17th century, with partial rebuilding in the 19th century and alterations in 1919. An 18th-century extension was also added. The cottage is timber-framed, with the original construction visible as coursed sandstone rubble to the gable end, and later red brick cladding to the front and rear. It has a Welsh slate roof. The plan appears to be a baffle entry 3-room layout, and it is possible this wing provided separate accommodation from the main farmhouse at an early date.

The front of the cottage has a two-window range, with 20th-century 2-light casement windows. There are two windows to the left and one to the right of an early 20th-century doorway. A ridge stack and an internal end stack are present. The gable end, constructed from the original sandstone rubble, features a 17th-century hood mould over a first-floor window (which has been replaced with a 2-light casement), and a small ground-floor window also with a hood mould, although the original 2-light arrangement has been disturbed and blocked up with brick. A massive angle post of the original timber framing is visible. The rear wall is brick, with a late 20th-century ground-floor window. A 19th-century brick extension is attached to the rear.

The interior of the main part of the cottage includes chamfered spine beams with slightly chamfered joists. A bressummer and framing from a former open fireplace are visible on the far right, with the hood above likely destroyed in 1919. Small fragments of square-pane framing are located on the rear and right walls. The roof was raised in the early 20th century, although some original purlins may have been reused. An original truss with a cut tie beam remains in the left stone gable end. The extension has a king-post truss roof with what appears to be an earlier cranked tie beam reused.
