Newton-Kyme Hall

Newton Kyme Hall is a country house that dates from the early 18th century, with possible origins in the 17th century and early 19th-century alterations and additions. It is constructed from magnesian limestone and sandstone ashlar, featuring vertical and horizontal tooling on the central block, and has a Welsh slate roof. The central range from the early 18th century is flanked by early 19th-century canted bays and has rear wings on either side, along with a further kitchen wing at the rear left. The building has a central staircase plan and stands two storeys tall with an attic in the central range, comprising seven bays between the single canted bay wings.

The entrance is approached by two long steps leading to an early 19th-century single-storey Doric portico, which features Regency wrought-iron trellis decorated with anthemion motifs on the first floor between the outer bays. The central entrance has C20 double doors. The windows are sash style with glazing bars and ashlar aprons throughout, except for three sets of C20 double doors on the first floor that provide access to a balcony; the central door has an eared architrave, while the others have plain architraves. There is a moulded band on the first floor at the end bays, and a cornice and parapet raised over the central range, which conceals a flat hipped roof and three roof dormers. The canted roofs of the bays are nipped, and there are central and end stacks.

Inside, the hall features an early 18th-century cantilevered staircase with two turned balusters per tread and a ramped handrail, set in a panelled staircase hall with fluted Roman Ionic pilasters and a moulded cornice. A similar design is found in the central first-floor room, which includes a 15-pane staircase window with gothick glazing in the head. The ground floor room has an early 19th-century Ionic portico and an acanthus moulded cornice, and some windows have shutters. There are also some six-fielded panel doors.
