Description

New Rock House is a house dating from the 17th to 18th century, with some alterations from the 19th century. The exterior is rendered and features a projecting first floor band and a double-Roman tile roof, along with two brick stacks. The building has two storeys and four bays, with two and three-light moulded stone-mullioned windows, except for a sash window located to the left of the ground floor. The central door opening is framed by an ovolo-moulded freestone surround and has a plank door. There is a wing at right angles to the rear that is used as an office, but this part is not of special interest.
