Description
New Rock Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse, altered in the early 19th century and again in the late 20th century. The ground floor is constructed of painted Flemish bond brickwork, while the first floor is timber-framed and brick-nogged. The roof is covered in artificial stone tiles. The main wing has three bays and is one room deep, with a lean-to added to the rear. A two-bay cross wing is on the right side.
The garden front features late 20th-century metal French doors on the left and a late 20th-century porch, replacing the original door, on the right. The porch has a felt roof and is half-glazed with French doors. A three-light casement window is positioned to the right of the porch, alongside a triangular buttress. A three-light metal window sits in the cross wing. The first-floor timber framing consists of two panels high, with angle-brace posts to the wallplate, and the cross wing framing is separate from the main block. Five-light and three-light wooden casement windows are present in the main block, with a brick chimney on the ridge. A four-light casement sits in the cross wing, with four studs to the gable truss over, and a single-light casement in the apex.
Inside, a large fireplace with a wooden surround and an iron crane is found in the left room. The ceiling in the right room is divided into six sections by beams. A timber-framed rear wall to the ground floor of the main block remains. The cross wing roof structure includes a tie beam, collar, and angle struts, with half trusses, two purlins, and a square ridge. A cider house has been added to the rear of the cross wing, containing a press and a 19th-century belt-driven mill. The exterior was rendered until the mid 20th century.
