The Haie

The Haie is a mansion house dating to circa 1840, with significant additions made in 1883. It is constructed with thin sandstone slab facings on rubble, with dressed ashlar pilasters, and has slate roofs. The principal east-facing block, likely from circa 1840, looks out toward the Severn River. In 1883, a large porte-cochere and staircase hall were added to the north front. Multiple chimneys are set diagonally. The river front has three stories and seven windows, arranged in a 2+3+2 configuration, set within three decorative 'Flemish' gables. Each gable features a round-headed light, flanked by small quatrefoil openings – the central gable's quatrefoil opening is blank. The first floor has low quatrefoil-headed windows with stopped drips, and the ground floor has three segmental-headed windows with stopped drips, along with a canted bay to each of the flanking gables. Sashes with glazing bars are present on the first and second floors, while the ground floor sashes are un-bared. A similar style is found on the return wing to the left, which is two-gabled and features two windows across each gable. A panelled main door is located within the porte-cochere. The property was formerly known as Newnham Park.
