Lower Newton Farmhouse

Lower Newton Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates back to the 16th century, with some alterations made in the 20th century affecting the windows. The building features fine coursed rubble and a timber-frame section on the south-west part, topped with a concrete tiled roof. It has a T-plan layout, oriented north-west to south-west, with a projecting wing to the south-west. The farmhouse is one storey high with an attic and has four windows that are irregularly placed casements, arranged roughly in a 1:3 pattern. The projecting wing and northern section have been updated with steel casements from the mid-20th century, and there is a central lean-to porch from the 20th century located below the chimney. The timber-framed section on the south has close-studding with two rails and large ledged doors leading into the center, while the ground floor to the right features 20th-century casements. There is also a rubble chimney bay to the south, which has had its shaft removed and is now roofed over. Inside, the south part has a truncated end stack, a newel stair located in the south-east corner with a small light in the gable end, and ceiling beams and joists that are chamfered with pyramid stops.
