Newhouse Farmhouse And Enclosing Walls To North-West

Newhouse Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates from the early 17th century and has undergone later alterations. It is constructed of sandstone rubble with sandstone dressings, topped with Welsh slate and concrete tile roofs, and features rubble end stacks. The building consists of two rectangular parallel blocks aligned northeast to southwest. The larger block to the southeast has five bays, while the lower block to the northwest is connected by parallel sandstone rubble walls about eight feet high, creating a yard. The main block includes a cellar and has two to three storeys with an attic.

The southeast elevation features three mid-20th century casement windows with cambered heads, two on the left and one blind beneath the central gable. There is also a barred window with a cambered head in the cellar, located to the right of a ledged door. The main entrance from the yard to the northwest is roughly central. The lower block has two storeys and its northwest elevation has three 20th century casement windows. The entry, located to the left of centre, is under a gabled 20th century porch and has a contemporary glazed door.

Inside the main block, there is a 17th century single-flight staircase that rises from the northwest immediately behind the entry. This staircase features turned balusters, a moulded rail, and strings with carved finials on four newels. Beneath this staircase is another single-flight staircase leading to the cellar, although the balusters are missing. The cellar has a moulded oak lintel forming a four-centred arch over the fireplace and two ovolo-moulded cross-beams. The attic contains collar trusses with ties at floor level, which have run-out chamfer stops. The interior of the lower block, which was not inspected, is reported to have an in situ 17th century staircase with moulded newels and handrails.
