Newbury

Newbury is a mid-19th century villa that has been altered and is now used as a hostel. The building is constructed of stucco, currently painted green with white dressings, and features a slate roof. It has a large, roughly rectangular plan, standing two storeys high with three wide bays. The façade includes a plinth, rusticated quoins, a string-course, and prominent bracketed eaves, which are adorned with three small gables designed as open pediments.

The central bay features a pilastered panel with a round-headed doorway on the ground floor, which has been altered to serve as a window. Above this, there is a round-headed window on the first floor and a small pedimented gable with a finial above the eaves. To the left, there is a wide but shallow rectangular two-storey bay that contains three round-headed sash windows on each floor. The outer windows are very narrow, and the central ground floor window is flanked by coupled Ionic pilasters. This bay has a hipped roof with prominent bracket eaves, which are broken in the center by a pedimental gable with a finial. To the right, there is a two-storey canted bay that is treated similarly.

The building has various ridge chimneys, and there is a 20th-century single-storey addition to the left. The right-hand return wall has three wide bays, featuring a 20th-century porch in the center and a two-storey canted bay at the rear, similar to the one at the front. The interior has not been inspected.
