Description
Newark House is a country house, dating from the 1830s, and now converted into flats. It was built for John Higford, and incorporates remnants of a 17th-century house that had been constructed on the site of a grange originally built for the Augustinian Llanthony Secunda Priory. The house is a long, double-depth range.
The symmetrical front elevation has eleven bays, with a slight projection to the central three bays, where scars in the wall suggest a former single-storey portico of three bays once stood. The basement wall sits on a slight offset plinth, and basement windows are stone-mullioned, two-light windows, some with hoodmoulds. These windows likely date to the mid-17th century.
Inside, the house contains 19th-century joinery, including a staircase and panelled doors, alongside 17th-century beams in the cellar.
