The Villa

Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c. 1850, having projecting gable-fronted centre-bay to front (south) elevation, return to rear (north) elevation with single-bay extension to first floor, east elevation, lean-to to east and west elevations. Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystacks and timber bargeboards. Roughcast rendered walls with external light fitting to rear elevation. Square-headed openings having two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows and painted stone sills. Square-headed openings to extension with fixed windows. Square-headed opening to centre-bay, west elevation with three-pane overlight over timber panelled door. Square-headed opening to return, east elevation having timber pilasters with scrolled consoles and seven-pane overlight over double-leaf timber panelled doors. Eight-bay single-storey outbuilding to east with pitched slate roof. Roughcast rendered walls. Arrow slit windows having painted brick surrounds. Square-headed openings with painted brick voussoirs and timber battened doors. Pair of rendered square-profile piers to west having double-leaf metal gates with adjoining pedestrian entrance comprising round-headed arch to south. Rendered boundary walls having painted rubble copings and round-headed rendered pedestrian arch with single-leaf timber gate to south.

This well proportioned house was probably built as part of the Newborough House estate. Its simple design is enhanced by the gable-fronted breakfront, which adds a central focus to the façade. The good quality sash windows and timber panelled doors further enhance the design. Retaining its solidly built outbuildings, the setting values of the site are further enhanced by the rendered boundary walls and decorative pedestrian entrance.
