Place & story

Newtown House

Newtown House, on Newtown Lane, is a two-storey farmhouse recorded by the architectural inventory as standing by 1909. Six granite steps approach its central doorway, with sidelights and an overlight. The house has a T-shaped plan and granite window sills; its upper windows are smaller than those below. Adjacent outbuildings, also recorded as present by 1909, form part of the farmyard group. [2]
