Newhall Manor Farmhouse

Newhall Manor Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from around the early 17th century. It is constructed of stone rubble with rag and scantle slate roofing, gable ends, and a lean-to service outshot to the rear. A single-storey rear wing also has slate roofing with gable ends. The building features a moulded stone rubble stack on the right-hand gable end and a brick shaft to a stack on the left-hand gable end, along with a brick end stack to the rear wing.

The original plan is uncertain, potentially featuring either a two-room and cross or through-passage arrangement. The left-hand room, originally possibly a parlour, was heated by a gable-end stack and adjoined a recess, possibly for a small newel stair, which has since been removed. The larger right-hand room was likely a hall kitchen, heated by a gable-end stack, with a later stair projection to the rear. The passage has been widened, with the partition moved to the right, suggesting the hall kitchen was originally larger or that an unheated service room existed between the passage and hall kitchen. A timber doorframe in the passage, dating from the early to mid-17th century on its right-hand jamb, is visible; the lintel and left-hand jamb are obscured by plaster but appear later. An early 18th-century outshot containing a dairy abuts the rear of the passage and the stair projection to the rear of the hall kitchen. A circa 19th-century single-storey kitchen wing is situated to the rear of the hall on the right.

The front facade presents an asymmetrical four-window arrangement, with the entrance to the left of centre. Windows include a four-pane sash with a hood mould to the left, a 20th-century door, a 20th-century single-light casement, and a double 19th-century four-pane horned sash to the right. The first floor features a 16-pane sash within a remodelled 20th-century gabled half-dormer on the left, an early 19th-century hornless 12-pane sash, and a 16-pane horned sash to the right. The rear elevation remains unaltered, displaying the lean-to outshot.

Internally, the passage has been partly remodelled. The left-hand room has a plastered ceiling and a gable-end fireplace with an unmoulded timber lintel. An adjoining recess on the right may have originally accommodated a small newel stair. The right-hand room also has an unmoulded timber lintel to its fireplace. The rear kitchen wing incorporates a clom oven with a clay door. The timber doorframe to the rear of the passage has an early to mid-17th-century right-hand jamb, chamfered with jewel and ogee stops. The roof structure was replaced around the early 18th century; the principals are partly halved, lap-jointed, and pegged at the apexes.
