Description
New House is a detached farmhouse that dates from the 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. It features square-panelled timber-framing with both painted and unpainted brick infill, along with brick extensions and a red tile roof that was likely originally thatched. The building has an L-shaped plan, with early 18th and 19th-century extensions that project forward on the left side of the north front. There is a 19th-century lean-to kitchen extension at the front of the right-hand gable, which includes a projecting bread oven at its right end. A 20th-century weather-boarded lean-to is located at the centre front, but it is not of special interest.
The main body of the house has two storeys and an attic, with two small timber-framed gables that provide light to the first floor, positioned above the 20th-century lean-to. A timber-framed dormer from the 19th to early 20th century lights the roof of the two-storey 18th-century extension on the left. The fenestration is irregular, featuring 2 and 3-light 20th-century wood casements, mostly with horizontal glazing bars. The five-windowed south front is illuminated by 2 and 4-light 20th-century casements set in segmental-headed surrounds.
Notable features include 17th-century star-shaped twin stacks with zig-zag tiling between them and small pointed finials around their bases, located on either side of the two timber-framed gables. The left-hand gable may have formerly been a projecting two-storey porch, which has an early studded plank door at ground floor level. There are triple 19th-century diagonal stacks to the right of the front door, also with brick finials, and projecting decorated twin stacks from the left gable end of the main body. The rectangular brick stacks belong to the 19th-century extensions. The house was home to the Buckle family during the 18th and 19th centuries, as noted by monuments in the church. The interior has not been inspected.
