History
editCadw dates the house to 1700, or a little later.[1] The façade, described by the architectural historian John Newman as "a completely symmetrical front",[2] is largely unaltered since that date, with the exception of the reconstruction of the chimneys.[1] By the early 20th century, the barns and dairy situated next to the house had been converted to houses and sold off,[3][4] and a planning application for modernisation was submitted in relation to New House, described at the time of the application, (2012), as being in a "relatively poor" state of repair.[5]
Architecture and description
editThe house is built of Old Red Sandstone rubble and rendered[1] and limewashed.[2] It is of two storeys, with attics under a Welsh slate roof. The interior has a cross-passage hall but few original features remain. The house is listed Grade II*, its designation describing New House Farm as "a classic example of its type".[1]
