Description
Newham House is a small country house dating from the early 19th century. It is built of stucco over a masonry core, with a hidden roof except for a small rear wing featuring scantle slate. The roofline is punctuated by stuccoed axial stacks. The house is arranged on a square plan and presents a symmetrical appearance. The north-east entrance front is two storeys high with five windows, as are the returns. The garden front, adjoining the left return, is three storeys high and also features five windows. The windows are mostly original hornless sashes with glazing bars, set within shallow segmental arches with projecting keyblocks on the primary elevations, and also feature plinths and a moulded cornice to the parapet. A central, closed porch with square Tuscan columns and a moulded entablature frames the main entrance, which has a pair of two-panel doors and a rectangular overlight, accompanied by round-arched side windows. A mid-floor string is present on the entrance front and returns. The south-east garden front is symmetrical, with a three-window arrangement on the left side, including a fixed light to the second floor on either side. The interior is reportedly complete and unaltered.
