Description

Low Newstead Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1685 with later alterations, constructed from rubble with a stone slate roof. It has two storeys and features three first-floor windows, along with a rear outshut. The building has quoins and to the left, there is a blocked quoined door surround with ovolo moulding on the arris, and a semi-circular panel on the lintel inscribed with the date.

On the ground floor, there are two 20th-century casement windows, one located under a large ashlar monolithic lintel, and a blocked surround of a three-light mullioned window. Additionally, there is a blocked single-light window situated halfway between the second and third bays. The first-floor windows include a blocked single-light opening and one 20th-century window set within a surround of a three-light mullioned window. The building features shaped kneelers, ashlar copings, and an end stack on the left side.

To the left of the main farmhouse is a subsidiary range with two lower storeys, which includes a part-glazed door, one bay with a 20th-century 16-pane sash window, and an end stack on the left. The right return of the house contains two blocked single-light windows and one small window with a trefoil head, as well as part of a very steep gable profile. Historically, this farmhouse was formerly a grange of Jervaulx Abbey.
