Beyond them, the house itself presents a composed, five-bay façade to the south-east, with a central glass porch sheltering a round-headed door, sash windows, and a hipped roof broken by two off-centre chimney stacks. It reads as a confident mid-Victorian composition, and that is more or less what the entrance front is. Yet the building conceals something older and less tidy behind that composed face.

The front of the house appears to have been built in 1852, a date consistent with its architectural character and confirmed by a nineteenth-century local historian, Grove White, writing between 1905 and 1925. An Ordnance Survey six-inch map from 1842 shows a different arrangement at the front, suggesting the earlier structure was substantially remodelled. Behind the Victorian façade, however, the rear sections, with their gable-ended extensions flanking a tall round-headed stairway window, may preserve the core of a much earlier building. Charles Smith, writing in 1750, recorded Newberry as the seat of one Richard Newman, placing a dwelling on the site well before either the 1852 front or its immediate predecessor. The most quietly compelling evidence for this layered history lies in the cobbled yard at the rear, where the date 1741 has been picked out in quartz stones set into the cobbling, a detail that combines the practical with something close to a maker's mark, and which points to activity on the site more than a century before the present entrance front was raised.

A narrow bridge within the demesne to the north-east connects the property by foot to St Senach's Church, suggesting that the relationship between the house and its local place of worship was once intimate enough to warrant its own dedicated crossing. The house remains occupied.
