Description
New House Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1697, now functioning as a house. It is probably built of brick but is currently rendered and painted white, with a slate roof featuring chimneys on the ridge and at the left gable. The building has a T-shaped plan with two bays and a baffle-entry, along with a two-bay crosswing on the right that projects to the front and rear, which may be earlier than the main structure.
The farmhouse is two storeys high, with a two-storey porch that is flush with the front of the wing, creating two unequal gables. The porch features a moulded stone doorcase with stepped moulding on the lintel, inscribed with "Tx C 16 x 97," and has a hoodmould above it. To the right of the porch, the wing has one two-light casement window on each floor, while to the left of the porch are two large altered windows on each floor. The rear of the building has a monopitched porch in the re-entrant of the wing, with four small altered windows and a hoodmould above a former first-floor window in the gable of the wing.
Inside, the wing contains chamfered beams, with an ovolo moulded beam in the second bay. The upper floor of the wing features an exposed roof truss with a cambered tie beam, curved struts to the principals, and one windbrace.
