Description
Newtown Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1743, identifiable by the initials JLM above the entrance. It features painted rendered brick walls set on a stone plinth and a Welsh slate roof with coped gables and kneelers, along with rendered chimney stacks. The building stands two storeys high and originally had five bays, though it now has three bays, with two filled windows that are covered by render. The entrance includes a six-panel top-glazed door with a moulded architrave, a pulvinated inscribed frieze, and a moulded cornice. The sash windows, which have glazing bars, are topped with segmental arches and sit on stone sills. The listing does not include the altered stable extension at the rear or the outbuildings to the right.
