Description

Lower Newton Cottages are a pair of cottages, likely built between the mid-18th century and early 19th century. They feature a timber frame with brick infill and have brick and sandstone rubble extensions. The cottages have a sandstone slate roof with brick chimneys and are arranged in a rectangular plan of two plus two bays, aligned southwest to northeast, with the timber-framed section located at the southwest.

The cottages are one storey high with an attic. The southeast elevation has a combination of dormers, with one dormer having two lights and the other having two sets of two-light early 20th-century casements. The left side, which is the timber-framed part, has two ground-floor casements, each with two lights. The right section features two three-light casements with cambered heads. There are two entrances: one on the right side of the timber-framed section, which has a ledged mid-19th-century door, and another in the right part that has a brick porch with a ledged mid-19th-century door to the left. The rear elevation includes a sandstone rubble extension with a catslide roof. The interior has not been inspected.
