Newington Cottages And Dower House

Newington Cottages and Dower House is a building from the 17th century, specifically dated 1684, although this date is scratched into the render on the gable and was not visible during the survey in March 1986. The structure is made of rubble stone, mostly roughcast-faced, with flush quoins and a stone slate roof. It features rendered stacks, including a very large off-centre ridge stack.

The building is arranged in a U-shape and consists of two storeys and an attic. There is a nearly central two-storey porch on the south-west face of the building, which is gabled. The porch includes a two-light stone mullion window with a square hoodmould above a Tudor arch doorway made of moulded stone, featuring chamfered and stopped jambs, along with a square hoodmould. The original inner door has vertical and horizontal battening. A shield shape is impressed into the render between the door and the window.

On the first floor, there are three-light stone mullions, and on the ground floor to the left, there is a single large window with a 20th-century lean-to addition to the right, which has a corrugated roof. To the far left, there is a 20th-century window and door. The right-hand return of the building features entirely 20th-century fenestration, while the left-hand return retains several two and three-light stone mullions, some of which have square hoodmoulds.
