Turnpike House

Turnpike House is a house located on South Newington Main Road, likely dating from the 17th century. It is built from regularly coursed ironstone rubble and features a steeply pitched tiled roof from the 20th century, with brick stacks at both ends and along the ridge. The house has a three-unit plan and is a single storey with an attic, presenting a three-window range.

To the right, there is a panelled door framed with moulded wood, leading to a 20th-century porch. On either side of the door, there are bay windows topped with hipped tiled roofs. To the left, a metal casement window has been inserted into a wood mullioned window. The attic contains three 3-light windows: one is a wood mullioned window with an inserted wooden casement and lead canes, another has an inserted metal casement, and the last is a wooden casement with renewed lead cames and wrought iron casement fasteners. All windows are topped with wood lintels.

Inside, the house features stop-chamfered beams and a chamfered bressumer above the fireplace, along with a renewed spiral staircase within the original circular staircase projection. There is also a workshop attached to the right, covered by a stone slate roof. The house is situated on a curved corner site.
