Newton

Newton is a single-storey, five-bay house built in 1816 by James Barclay, designed in a U shape with a piended roof. The exterior features dressed ashlar and squared and snecked rubble, with an eaves course and stone mullions.

The southwest elevation, which serves as the entrance, is symmetrical and includes a deep-set panelled timber door at the center, topped with a diamond astragalled fanlight. This is flanked by narrow windows, all recessed under a narrow canopy supported by two rusticated pillars. Additional windows are found in the outer bays.

On the southeast elevation, there are three symmetrical bays on the left and a lower, recessed bay on the outer right. The central bay features a three-part bow window with a conical roof, flanked by windows in the adjacent bays and another window on the outer right.

The northeast elevation consists of three bays, with a bipartite window at the center. There is a slightly advanced bay to the right that has a small modern window, and an advanced bay to the left with a timber door on the right, a modern window on the left, and a wall with a pedestrian gate on the outer left, returning to the right.

The northwest elevation has a window at the center and another in the bay to the left of center. The glazing patterns include 12 and 14 pane configurations on the southeast and southwest elevations, a 6 pane pattern at the center of the northeast, a 6 pane horizontal pattern on the right of the northwest, and a 2 pane horizontal over an 8 pane pattern on the left, all featuring timber sash and case windows. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are coped ashlar stacks with cans, some of which are polygonal.

Inside, the house has plain cornicing.

There is also an outbuilding, possibly a former dairy or laundry, which has a piend roof and is constructed of slated rubble with droved quoins. It features a door and window on the northwest side, and there is an adjoining wall to the northeast. A semicircular coped rubble boundary wall surrounds the property, which includes a stack.
