L-plan group of single-storey outbuildings forming courtyard to rear of house, having hipped slate roof, rendered rubble walls and square- and segmental-headed carriage entrances and doorways, one to east elevation having cut sandstone surround and voussoirs. Single-storey outbuilding to north-east of house was formerly row of two-bay workers' houses, with hipped and pitched slate roof, rendered walls and with square-headed timber battened doors and timber sliding sash six-over-six pane windows. Two-storey outbuildings to east of latter building, having pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystack, roughcast render over rubble stone walls, with segmental-arched carriage entrances with cut sandstone voussoirs, brick jambs and timber battened double doors, and with square-headed timber double casement windows and remains of timber sliding sash six-over-six pane windows to first floor.
Appraisal
These well-preserved ancillary buildings enhance the setting of Newtownanner House. The former workers' housing is of particular interest and the sandstone arches to the outbuildings are evidence of good-quality masonry. The arrangement of courtyards, to the rear and side of the country house, is typical of demesne architecture.
