Description
Newton is an early 19th century farmhouse, possibly built in two phases. It is a two-storey, three-bay structure with an L-shaped plan and a piend roof. The exterior is harled with painted margins and droved quoin strips, featuring an eaves course.
The southeast elevation is symmetrical, showcasing a pilastered and corniced doorway at the center, which has a deep-set part-glazed timber door and a two-pane fanlight above. Windows are located in the flanking bays, with regular fenestration close to the eaves on the first floor.
On the northeast elevation, there is a window in the central bay at ground level and another in the outer right bay on the first floor.
The northwest elevation is asymmetrical, featuring a variety of elements, including a projecting wing with a prominent wallhead stack to the left of center, along with a boarded timber door and a stair window on the return to the right.
The southwest elevation includes a single-storey piended projection to the left of center, with two small windows flanked by two additional windows on the right at ground level, and three windows on the first floor.
The farmhouse primarily features a 12-pane glazing pattern in timber sash and case windows, topped with grey slates. The chimneys are made of coped ashlar with cans.
The property is enclosed by a flat-coped rubble boundary wall.
