New House

New House is a house dating from around 1600, with alterations made in the early 18th century and the 20th century. It is timber framed, plastered, and has a roof made of handmade red clay tiles. The house has four bays facing southeast, with a one-bay rear wing on the left side and an internal stack at the junction. In the 18th century, it was extended to the right by one bay, also with an internal stack at the junction. A 20th-century rear wing is located at the right end, and there is a single-storey extension between the rear wings. The building is two storeys high and features a five-window range of late 18th-century sashes, some of which have crown glass. There is a half-glazed door at the front of a flat-roofed central porch added in the 20th century. The roof is fully hipped, and there is a recessed panel in front of the stack.

Inside, the house has chamfered beams with lamb's tongue stops, while other beams have been hacked back to increase height, and there are plain joists of horizontal section. Originally, the house was likely one storey with attics and probably had a lobby-entrance plan. The walls were raised approximately one metre in the 18th century. On the ground floor, there is a carved Jacobean chimney-piece that is reputedly from a mansion located southwest of All Saints Church, which was demolished to make way for the current Terling Place. On the first floor, there is an early 18th-century pine chimney-piece. Simon Collins Farm, also known as Newhouse Farm, which spans 70 acres, was purchased by John Strutt in 1720, and the house likely took on its current form around that time. An abstract of title from 1673 is held at the Essex Record Office.
