Description
New Farmhouse is a farmhouse that has been converted into two dwellings. It was built in the early 19th century and features coursed limestone rubble with a fine ashlar front. The left side has been rendered later and scribed to resemble ashlar. The roof is made of double Roman tiles with coped verges and ashlar end stacks. The building has a double-depth plan and stands three storeys high with a symmetrical three-window range.
The entrance has a late 19th-century half-glazed door with a stone slab hood supported by brackets. Above the door, there is a replacement window with a beaded stone architrave that has 6/6 panes, paired 4/4-pane replacement windows in the outer bays, and 2/2-pane sash windows in the attic. The rear and right outshut feature 20th-century windows.
Inside, there are panelled doors and shutters set in moulded architraves, with a quarter-turn stair located at the rear of a panelled cupboard door opposite the entry. The first-floor fireplaces have roundels, and those on the left side at the first and ground floors include flanking cupboards in beaded architraves. The feet of the trusses and a 18th-century fielded-panel door can be found in the attic, along with chamfered beams at the rear.
