C16-C17 brick house standing in a park of nearly 100 acres. The original
house, which was timber-framed and on a half H plan is said to have been
built by Thomas Newman about the middle of the C16. In 1670-80 Thomas Turner
refaced the building with red and blue bricks, filled in the space between
the wings and made other alterations. There are modern additions on the
north. : fire in the mid C20 destroyed the upper storey and much of the
interior. It has since been restored but without the attic storey of dormers
it formerly had on the south front. The present house is of 2 storeys and
attics. One:nine:one window range of double-hung sashes with glazing bars
(some original), in arched brick heads with keystones. The outer wings,
each of one window range, project slightly on the south front, with stucco
bands at window head level on the ground and first storeys. The centre
part is divided into 6 bays by stuccoed pilasters standing on a plinth and
supporting a moulded cornice. The main doorway is in the third bay, and
has a flat moulded hood with carved brackets and pilasters with carved capitals.
Roof tiled, with a carved modillion wood eaves cornice. The roof is hipped
over the end wings of the south front. The interior has some original features,
particularly the hall with Doric columns, fireplace and cornice. There
is much panelling. The house was originally surrounded by a moat but only
the east arm remains. On the north side there is an avenue of trees forming
a vista with the axis on the Church of St Mary the Virgin, Newport, about
1 1/2 miles to the north. (RCHM 2 Quendon).
