Newmoor House, probably erected within a few years of 1700, is in a sheltered position and is of stone. In plan, it is shaped like the letter T; the hall and staircase occupying the central portion. The W facade has a doorway with a classical cornice, supported on fluted doric pilasters. On one side of the door are three windows, on the other side four with heavy projecting architraves. The present owner is Mr William J Robinson. (2)
The main building faces SW and is of two stories, constructed of well dressed masonry and with a roof of stone slabs. The projecting NE wingis of much plainer architecture. The architectural features are somewhat unusual for this region. The date of c.1700 would appear to be a little early when the building is compared with others of this period in the area, but it may be that it was alien to the local architectural tradition. An early C18th date is therefore accepted. The building is in good condition although at the moment unoccupied. It is known locally as Newmoor Hall. (3)
Condition unchanged. (4)
House, built in c.1720, incorporating earlier fabric; originally T-plan. Interior altered in c.1870 and c.1950 when the rear wing was demolished. Two storeys and eight narrow bays. Rear elevation of house shows earlier massive squared masonry in lower courses at left end, perhaps Medieval. (5) |
