Newton House Attached Outbuilding And Garden Walls

Newton House is a small country house built around 1800, with later alterations from the late 19th and 20th centuries. The exterior features herringbone-tooled sandstone on the plinth, bordered herringbone-tooled lintels, and slate roofs. The house has a central-stairhall plan, is two rooms deep, and includes flanking crosswings.

On the entrance front, there is a two-storey, three-window central range flanked by two-storey, two-window projecting crosswings, with a one-storey lean-to outbuilding on the right. The entrance features a six-panel door set in a pilastered doorcase within a Roman Doric prostyle porch that has a triglyph frieze and a moulded cornice. The windows in the central range and right crosswing are 12-pane sashes, including an inserted window at the left end of the central range, while the left crosswing has 4-pane sash windows. The central range has a ground floor sillband, and all remaining windows have stone sills. There are raised bands at the first floor and eaves, and all roofs are hipped. The outbuilding has a plank door beneath a plain lintel, a coped gable, and a shaped kneeler.

The garden front features a two-storey, five-window central range flanked by two-storey, two-window crosswings, with concave garden walls attached on each side. A four-panel, half-glazed door is located beneath a console cornice hood in a projecting flat-roofed porch. The windows in the central range and left crosswing are 12-pane sashes, while the ground floor of the right crosswing has a three-window canted bay with 4-pane sashes, and the first floor has 4-pane sashes. Other details mirror those on the entrance front. The garden walls vary in height, are stepped and raked in places, and have flat coping. The right wall has a single opening with a round arch of radiating voussoirs, while the left wall features three openings with a herringbone-tooled lintel, an elliptical arch of voussoirs, and a round arch of radiating voussoirs.

Inside, there is a closed-string, open-well staircase with slender spindle balusters and a moulded, ramped-up handrail. In the rear room to the right of the entrance passage, a double-arched fireplace remains.
