Description

New House Farmhouse is a detached house that may have origins dating back to the 16th century but was reshaped around 1700. It is constructed of local stone, much of which is rendered and colorwashed, with a portion of the south elevation and a rear extension made of brick. The house has a double Roman clay tiled roof at the west end, featuring a high coped gable to the east that suggests it may have originally had a thatched roof. The west crosswing is half-hipped to the north with a coped gable to the south. There are brick chimney stacks.

The building has a 'T'-plan and stands two storeys with attics. The north entrance elevation consists of five bays, with the fifth bay being the end of the crosswing. It features leaded casement windows of an early pattern, arranged in two and three lights, and a doorway in the lower second bay with a plain boarded door in a heavy frame. The test elevation has three bays, with leaded casements in the outer bays and a slightly projecting stack with gabled offsets in the centre bay. The south elevation has four bays, with the first bay being a projecting rendered gable. The remaining bays have near-ashlar stone below and brick on the first floor, with a saw-tooth dentilled band course between the floors and semi-circular relieving arches over the lower openings, similar to those found at Ashford Farmhouse, which is dated 1703.

The interior has been much altered, but sections of timber-framed partitions remain. There is an 18th-century fireplace, indications of an earlier kitchen fireplace that is currently blocked, and an early 17th-century fireplace in the west room with a cambered arch. The collar and tie beams are also notable features. The west block likely dates just before 1600, while the east wing was built around 1700.
