Once a working farm, Newton Farmhouse is an historic 16th Century, Grade II listed building, which was formerly part of the Trafalgar Estate, gifted to Lord Nelson's family following his death at the battle of Trafalgar in 1805; it remained in the family until 1947.
The house has been extensively altered over the years, but retains such features as flagstone floors, exposed oak beams, an original bread oven in the inglenook fireplace and a Well inside the conservatory.
