Description
Long Newnton House is a detached country house with possible origins dating back to the 16th century. The main range was added in the late 18th or early 19th century, likely for Thomas White, a member of a Tetbury family of mercers. The house features a rendered front range set on a plinth with a rubble stone rear. The roof is mostly covered with stone slate, except for the front of the half-hipped main range, which has slate roofing. The main front range consists of two tall storeys with two lower rear ranges, forming an L-shape.
The central section has a pediment above three slightly projecting bays, flanked by two bays on each side. All bays contain 12-pane sash windows with a sill band in plain reveals. A central Roman Doric stone portico with a flat entablature leads to a half-glazed door at the rear. The left-hand return features two Palladian windows on the first floor, framed in raised plain stone surrounds with tripartite sashes. The rear wings have irregularly spaced sashes on the left and 4 and 5-light stone mullions with square hoodmoulds on the right.
At the time of the survey in April 1986, a complete external inspection was not possible, nor was an inspection of the interior. The interior may include a Tudor hall with a carved stone fireplace and is reputed to have a stone staircase with a swept handrail and wrought iron balustrade, as well as an 18th-century marble fireplace surround in the southwest drawing room.
