Description
Newlands Cottage is a house, likely dating to around 1825, or possibly a remodelling of an earlier structure. It is built of stone rubble, with the west gable end rendered. The roof is thatched, with stone coping and corbels to the gable ends. There are two gable-end stacks; the left is ashlar with a cornice, while the right is built of brick.
The house has a three-room plan, with a kitchen on the west side and a parlour on the east, and a central, unheated room containing a straight staircase rising from the parlour. The plan includes front doorways into both the kitchen and the parlour, although the parlour doorway has been blocked.
The south front is asymmetrical, with four windows. It has two-light casements with horizontal glazing bars. The ground floor, right-hand window has been converted into a French casement, and a raking buttress has been built around it. Doorways are positioned to the left and right of the centre, with the right-hand doorway now a window. A large 20th-century conservatory extends from the front of the cottage on the left. The west gable end contains a datestone inscribed "1825". There are only two windows at the rear, along with a 20th-century corrugated sheet steel outbuilding.
The interior features mostly 19th-century joinery, including plank doors. Ground floor rooms have plank ceilings, and the chambers possess cross-beams, with the left-hand beams stop-chamfered. The roof has butt-purlins and is likely early 19th century.
