Description
Newby Demesne Farmhouse and the adjoining outbuilding date from the mid-19th century and were likely built for Thomas Henry Graham of nearby Edmond Castle. The farmhouse is constructed from hammer-dressed red sandstone and features a Welsh slate roof with yellow brick chimney stacks, showcasing a Scottish Baronial style. It has a 2½ storey tower with a two-storey extension that has two and three bays. The tower is topped with a corbelled battlemented parapet and crow-stepped gables. It includes double sash windows with glazing bars. The extension features a corbelled cornice, a crow-stepped gable, and a semicircular angle turret on the first floor with a conical pointed roof. The ground floor has sash windows with glazing bars, while the upper floor has 2-pane sashes. A further extension displays large quoins and red brick chimney stacks, along with sash windows with glazing bars. The farmyard facade is less grand, made of mixed red and yellow sandstone with river cobbles. A three-storey projecting bay in front of the tower has a crow-stepped gable topped with a cross finial. To the right, there is a projecting two-storey, single bay with sash windows and a steeply pitched roof featuring a partly crow-stepped gable. The adjoining outbuilding, positioned at right angles, has plank doors and sash windows. The listing does not include other farmyard buildings.
