Description
New House is a farmhouse dating from the early to mid 17th century, with later alterations. It is constructed of dressed stone with ashlar dressings and features a hipped roof. The building has two storeys and five bays. There is a continuous drip mould over the ground floor window, which is raised over a central plaque that bears a worn armorial bearing, possibly of Coventry or Bennett. The ground floor has double-chamfered-mullioned windows arranged in a pattern of 5:4:4:5 lights, while the first floor windows include a transom and a central cross-mullion window. The entrance is set back behind a round-headed opening. The returns of the building have projecting lateral stacks. The roof was originally gabled but has been altered, likely in the 19th or 20th century.
