OLD NEWTON
SPIKES LANE
Boards Farmhouse
II
Former farmhouse, late C16 with early C18 alterations. Originally of two-cell end-chimney plan; extended greatly to left in early C18.
One storey and attics. Timber-framed plastered. Plain tiled roof; an axial chimney of early C18 red brick, and internal gable chimneys to left and right. Five gabled casement dormers. Three-light mid C20 steel small-pane casements. A central C18 doorway at lobby-entrance position with eared architrave; C20 half-glazed panelled door. Further entrance doorways to left and right with similar but plain architraves.
The original section has heavy plain C16 framing partially exposed; unchamfered floor joists laid flat, and concealed close-studding. In early C18 the house was extended and three cottages formed. The framing has lambstongue chamfered stops, and an ovolo-moulded beam is probably reused. A rear wing to right of red brick is of late C18/early C19 and a rear outshut was added later in C19 covering some good C18 cable-pattern pargetting on the old rear wall.
