Description

New Buildings is a two-storey structure with attics, a cellar, and a lower rear wing. The front elevations are made of neat coursed rubble blocks, topped with hipped slate roofs and an ogee eaves cornice. It features two end stacks with modern brick tops and three hipped roof dormers. The central door is located under a pitched-roof canopy supported by large carved brackets. The windows are symmetrically arranged, consisting of twelve-pane sashes with exposed bead-moulded boxing beneath flat voussoir lintels. The rear elevation includes a door and windows with brick dressings.

Inside, there is a wide staircase featuring a beaded square newel, closed string, turned balusters, and a heavy moulded handrail. The door architraving displays ogee and bead mouldings. The ground floor has six-panel doors, while the first floor has two-panel doors, all with raised and fielded panels and HL hinges. The rear wing, which was formerly a back kitchen and dairy under a granary, contains re-used crucks. It also features a large open fireplace and an adjacent well-built brick corn drying kiln, along with heavy exposed beams and joists and flagstone floors.
