Description
Newlands Farmhouse, dating from the early 18th century, was originally known as Middle Farm. The house is constructed of ashlar and has a Cotswold stone roof with coped verges and two ridge chimneys. It comprises two parts, the right-hand bay being a later addition. The original section has five bays with a band above the ground floor, and mullioned windows set in rebated surrounds. There was originally a bolection doorcase centrally located. A chamfered plinth runs along the base. The right-hand bay displays a small two-light mullion window on the first floor and a wider entrance below, originally of a greater height and featuring a timber lintel.
A band extends to the north, where a blocked two-light mullion window can be seen, and to the south, inside the carriageway, where another blocked window is located on the first floor. A modern lobby connects the farmhouse to a former kitchen and bakery dating from the early to mid-19th century, also with a Cotswold stone roof.
Inside, the south room contains evidence of a bread oven within a wide lintel fireplace. The south-facing first-floor room has chamfered beams and joists, while the north room originally featured a corner fireplace. A barn that was previously attached has since been demolished.
