Newman Hall Cottages

Newman Hall Cottages is a house that has been divided, originally built in the mid-17th century. It was remodeled in the early 18th century and extended around 1900. The structure is timber framed with brick nogging, although much of it has been refaced or rebuilt in red brick. It features plain tile roofs, including a partial catslide over a later outshut at the rear. The building is L-shaped, consisting of two bays with a one-bay rear wing, and stands two storeys high with a gable-lit attic.

Architectural details include a plat band and eaves band, a dentil brick eaves cornice, and various brick stacks: an integral brick corner stack on the northwest, a large brick ridge stack on the rear wing with pilaster shafting and an over-sailing top, and another integral brick corner stack from the 1900 addition at the rear. The framing consists of square panels on the inside.

The front of the building has two windows; the first floor features two-light segmental-headed wooden casements, while the ground floor has three-light segmental-headed wooden casements. There are also two central segmental-headed boarded doors, one of which is accompanied by a gabled wooden porch. The gable ends have two-light segmental-headed attic casements.

To the sides, there are outbuildings from around 1900, set back from the main structure. The left outbuilding has an integral brick end stack and a two-light segmental-headed wooden casement, while the right outbuilding has an integral brick end stack and a segmental-headed boarded door. There is also a boarded door in the outshut at the rear.

Inside, the south range reveals exposed square panel framing, chamfered beams encased in what is likely 18th-century plaster, a bread oven, and an earth floor. Other 17th-century fixtures and fittings may still be hidden within the structure.
