Description
Newnham Manor is a house dating from the early 18th century, which has been extensively altered in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is constructed of red brick with vitrified headers, and there is a yellow and grey brick addition to the right. The building features a tiled hipped roof and is two storeys high with a five-window front. Originally, it had a four-window front and was a double-pile house with the entrance in the second bay from the left, but the entrance has been moved to the centre. It has a moulded doorcase with a bracketed hood and a fielded panelled door, along with a repositioned 18th-century fanlight. The windows are C20 glazing bar sashes. There is a plat band between the storeys and a timber modillioned eaves cornice that returns at the ends. The house has two cross axial stacks positioned to the right and left of centre.
On the left return wall, there is a one-storey late 19th-century cement rendered canted bay window with applied Corinthian capitals below a stone balustrade, and a canted brick bay window on the rear elevation facing the garden. The interior has been largely remodelled in the 20th century, and there is a converted stable wing extending to the rear. A high garden wall extends to the left, featuring an arched entrance framed by piers topped with ball finials.
