Newhouse

Newhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 16th century or early 17th century, with alterations made in the mid-19th century and 20th century. It is timber-framed with brick infill, a sandstone plinth, and sandstone rubble refacing on the southern end of the west front, topped with tiled roofs. The building consists of five framed bays aligned north to south, featuring an entrance on the west front, a large lateral stack on the east front, and a central axial stack. There is a 20th-century addition to the north.

The farmhouse has two storeys, a cellar, and attics. The west front displays irregular fenestration, including a 3-light casement window to the left and three small windows clustered to the right that light the staircase. One small window is directly below the eaves, and another is above the girding beam. A 3-light window is found in the 20th-century single-storey extension to the left, which also features a re-set battened ledged door. There is a 20th-century 3-light window to the left and a small window to the right of a gabled 20th-century porch with a ledged inner door, with a door leading down to the cellar further to the right.

The east front retains two 2-light stone mullioned windows that light the attic. Inside, the farmhouse boasts fine moulded ceiling beams and panelling in the central room, which includes a 17th-century over-mantel with four arched panels flanked by fluting. The house was visited by Celia Fiennes, who mentioned it in her account of her travels around England, noting that it was owned by her relatives.
