Description

The barn and attached byre at Newhouse Farm date from the 17th century and are constructed of rubble stone with a corrugated metal roof. The substantial barn features wide center doorways that once led to a threshing floor, although one doorway to the roadside is now blocked. The walls have tall slit vents, and there is a triangular vent in the gable head. The attached byre has a shallower roof pitch and vent slits in its long walls.

On the roadside front, the ground floor to the left has a doorway and a square window opening. The opposing side faces the farmyard and includes an external stone stair leading to the upper loft. The northwest gable head features a horizontal wooden ledge with pigeon nesting holes beneath the overhanging verge. On the first floor, there is a boarded door with a segmental arch leading to the loft, while the ground floor has two cart shed doorways with brick voussoirs, one of which is partly blocked. There is also a further byre attached at the southeast end of the barn.

The barn consists of six bays, with trusses that have tie beams and raking queen struts, except for the center truss, which may be re-used and features a tie beam with three posts under the collar and raking struts above. It has three tiers of trenched purlins. The byre retains its loft and early 19th-century roof trusses with bolted collars, and there has been a 20th-century conversion to a milking parlour.
