New House

New House is a small house built in the mid to late 17th century, with an early 19th-century outshut to the southeast. It is constructed of hammer-dressed gritstone rubble that is roughly coursed, topped with a stone slate roof. The layout features a two-room plan with a contemporary partial outshut on the northeast side and a later partial outshut on the southwest. The original main elevation faces southwest and includes a two-light double-chamfered mullion window on each floor, although the ground floor lacks the mullion. To the right, the later outshut has a two-light slightly splayed and recessed mullion window on the left return and a doorway with a dressed surround on the right return. This outshut encloses the original front door, which is oak boarded, ledged, and hung with iron hinges. There is a damaged shouldered and corniced ashlar stack. At the rear, the partial outshut features a single-chamfered light and a doorway with a gritstone lintel and monolithic jambs. The main range has a double-chamfered mullion window on the first floor, and there is another three-light double-chamfered mullion window on the southeast gable, with other openings altered or inserted. Inside, there are remains of a stud partition in the contemporary outshut, with the studs set in a grooved stone sill, and a stone staircase within the outshut. There are back-to-back stone fireplaces, one supported by ovolo corbels. The front door, which is hung with iron hinges, is a rare domestic survival and resembles one illustrated by C. F. Innocent in "The Development of English Building Construction," published in 1916.
