Newbridge House

Newbridge House is a former farmhouse located next to Upper Farmhouse in Clapton-on-the-Hill. The building features coursed squared and dressed limestone from various periods, topped with a stone slate roof and ashlar stacks, likely added in the 20th century. It dates back to the mid-17th century but underwent significant restoration in the mid-19th century. The house has a long rectangular shape, originally designed with a cross passage, and includes a small 19th-century extension at the rear. A small outbuilding is positioned to the right of the main entrance.

The house stands two storeys high with an attic, which is illuminated by three 20th-century roof dormers. The facade has five windows, primarily featuring 2, 3, and 4-light casements with horizontal glazing bars set within segmental-headed surrounds. The front door, located far right, is part-glazed and set within a double-chamfered hollow-moulded stone-mullioned casement. The original entrance, now blocked, was located off-centre to the left and has been replaced with a 3-light window. At the rear, there is a 19th-century part-glazed plank door within a flat-chamfered Tudor-arched surround, which used to lead into the cross passage. A 20th-century three-light window with a central sash and concrete lintel is positioned to the right of the Tudor-arched door, with a similar smaller window above on the first floor. The gable end of the main body features a single light with a flat-chamfered stone surround and a 2-light stone-mullioned casement. The 19th-century extension at the rear has 2 and 3-light casements within segmental-headed surrounds.

The single-storey outbuilding, which is at right angles to the entrance front, includes a 2-light stone-mullioned casement with an unusual stepped moulding. Inside, the house has tie beams with moulded stops and two open fireplaces with bressumer beams; one of these features moulded stops and a carved decoration resembling a keystone at the center of the beam, along with two inglenook seats. The open fireplace in the far left room has a semi-circular curing chamber area to its right. The rear wall contains two-light hollow-moulded stone-mullioned casements that are no longer visible from the outside. The upper right-hand room features a spine beam.
