House History
Current name of house - Newhouse
Grid reference: SO472023
Current residents - Lynn and Anthony Williams
Date of house – late 1800s. Welsh Tithe Maps show the land belonging to Newhouse was part of the Beaufort Estate and was rented by the Walters Family. A copy of a receipt dated Michaelmas 10th November 1893, in the sum of four shillings paid by Mr William Walters to His Grace the Duke of Beaufort for one year’s rent for these premises.
Outbuildings – modern outbuildings include an oak-framed garage and storage block (2017); garden shed (2021); summer house (2021).
Additional information – The property, now of just under five acres, was bought by the current owners on 6th November 2015 from Mr & Mrs Blenner-Hassett, who bought the house in September 2004 from Marie Denise Townsend and Betty Dorren Lloyd. At this time, the triangular section of the land to the north of the property was sold separately and is now the site of Quarry Cottage.
The original house was a typical Welsh stone cottage which was subsequently extended with several lean-to’s. The Blenner-Hassetts then further extended the house to the west and south elevations in 2005 and also added a front entrance porch.
The current owners landscaped part of the land to the rear of the property and added vegetable beds and a greenhouse: photographs taken before 2005 show a large vegetable garden to the front of the property close to the well. The well is guarded by two stone lions!
According to the Welsh Tithe Maps the property was considered to be in Llanishen: both Devauden and Llanishen seem to be acceptable addresses although the current postal address is Devauden.
References on the Welsh Tithe Maps for the various fields associated with Newhouse show the name Waters as well as Walters. The Christian names are the same and as the receipt date Michaelmas 10th November 1893 shows Mr William Walters, it is more likely that Walters was, indeed, the family name.
The land associated with the property was originally arable land and permission was sought and granted in 2005 to enable part of it to be used as a garden.
