Newcastle House

Newcastle House is a Georgian two-storey building with a symmetrical six-window main front, finished in cement render. The southeast facade features a plinth and an inline two-window extension at the southwest end. It has a slate roof with bracket eaves and cement render chimney stacks. The house includes 12-pane sash windows and a two-bay central cross gable with a traceried attic oculus above an offset open pedimented Tuscan porch, which is not shown on Ordnance Survey maps. There is a fanlight over half-glazed doors. The walls are made of rubble at the left and right ends, with a pointed arch opening to the southwest leading to an early 20th-century extension that ends in a semicircular portico supported by paired Tuscan columns. The right end has a double pile with an Edwardian classical bay window in the study.

To the northwest, there is a thin rendered rubble cross range with a slate roof, and an 18th-century voussoir arched rubble wall extends north, including potting sheds. The rear features a gable-ended north wall of the stairwell, which has a 17th-century hoodmould over a Gothic semicircular headed sash window.

Large gardens extend to the north and southwest, featuring a rare tree collection and a small grotto within a greenhouse.

The interior retains significant details from around 1800, including dentil cornices, dados, fielded panel doors, and shutters. A fine cantilevered dog leg staircase is accessed under a doffered segmental arch on fluted corbels, with an ornate wrought iron balustrade and broad mouldings on the arched upper flight, and a stone flagged cellar beneath the lower flight. A lugged doorcase with a keystone leads off the half landing to the Edwardian extension, while the stairwell rises to a rib vaulted plaster ceiling. The drawing room features a fluted frieze above panelled walls and a classical fireplace, and the first floor has coved 18th-century ceilings at various levels with Adamesque detail in the southwest extension. The dining room retains elements of the 17th-century two-unit house, including stop-chamfered beams, joists, and four-centred doorways, along with a restored ceiling featuring a Georgian frieze, a blocked window in the rear wall, and blocked winding stone stairs in the angle.
