Description
New House is a house built around 1710, featuring a rendered exterior with coursed limestone rubble on the right side, an old tile roof, and brick stacks. It has a double pile plan and is designed in the early Georgian style, standing two storeys tall with an attic and five bays. The entrance has a keyed semi-circular arch over a six-panelled door with a fanlight, set within a broken pediment supported by engaged Doric columns on steps. The windows have segmental arches over six-pane sashes with original thick glazing bars. The basement is distinguished by banded rustication and contains two 20th-century two-light casements. A moulded cornice runs along the top, and there are two gabled dormers with early 19th-century sashes. The hipped roof features early 18th-century end stacks with two flues connected by a semi-circular arch and a mid-19th-century internal stack.
The left side wall has one similar window, while the right side wall includes an early 18th-century gabled two-storey three-bay projection. This projection has a central plank door with a flat hood and leaded overlights, flanked by segmental arches over two-light cross windows with leaded lights. Above, there is a semi-circular arch over an early 18th-century first-floor sash, flanked by flat arches over two-light leaded casements. At the rear, segmental arches lead over a central six-panelled door with an overlight, flanked by three-light cross windows, one of which has leaded lights. The first floor features a central two-light cross window flanked by early 18th-century sashes with original glazing bars.
Inside, the house was partly remodelled around 1830. It includes two-panelled doors in moulded architraves, panelled shutters, a fine Baroque fireplace, and a moulded cornice in the left room. The right room has an early 19th-century fireplace and moulded cornice. There is a passage leading to a central vestibule, which features an early 18th-century quarter-turn staircase with a landing, wreathed handrail, and turned balusters on an open string. The first floor has early 19th-century panelled shutters, fireplaces, and moulded cornices, except for the early 18th-century cornices in the rear rooms.
Additionally, there is an early 18th-century one-storey brewhouse made of coursed limestone rubble, with a hipped old tile roof, a brick ridge stack, and an original open fireplace, attached to the rear right of the main house.
