Description
Newtown House is a house dating from the 1840s, situated on Newtown Road in Carlisle. It is a painted stucco building on a chamfered plinth, with painted stone dressings including broad angle pilasters, a modillioned eaves cornice, and a solid parapet. The roofs are graduated greenslate, hipped on the wings, with stucco and brick end chimney stacks. The building takes a rough overall U-shape and comprises two storeys and three bays, with single-storey, single-bay wings flanking the central bays. A top-glazed panelled door is set within a prostyle Tuscan porch. Sash windows are set within stone architraves; those in the wings are tripartite. The interior has not been inspected. The building appears on a map of Carlisle from 1842. Benjamin Bathurst resided here in 1847, and between 1850 and 1856 it was the home of Colonel Thomas William Prevost; it was later occupied by the Carr family, owners of Carrs Biscuit Works.
