Description
Newton House is a detached house, now operating as a nursing home, dating to around 1800. The house is constructed of yellow Flemish bond brick, with a Welsh slate hipped roof and brick stacks. It is square in layout and has a symmetrical three-window front.
The central bay of the front projects slightly and features an open segmental pedimented Doric portico with a half-glazed door, leading up six stone steps. To the left of the portico is a sixteen-pane sash window and a two-light casement has replaced a sash window to the right. A three-brick plat band runs along the first floor. The upper floor has three sixteen-pane sashes, a moulded brick eaves cornice, and a pediment with a lunette over the central bay, finished with a plain brick blocking course.
The right return is a mix of flint and brick and features an early 20th-century conservatory attached, enclosing French windows. It also has two sixteen-pane sashes on both the ground and first floors. The left return has sixteen-pane sashes, a late 19th-century canted bay, and an eighteen-pane stair window; all openings have segmental heads. The rear of the house has a single-storey flint and brick extension with casement windows and a tiled roof.
The interior includes doors with six moulded panels set within moulded architraves, and window shutters.
