The exact age of Newton Manor is not known as it has been altered so extensively over the Centuries but is believed that the main Manor House and the adjoining cottage date from the 1600s. The house was purchased by a Lewis Cockram in 1597 and remained in the ownership of the Cockram family until 1830, the elaborate Cockram Coat of Arms can be found above the Grade II* Listed entrance to Newton Hall.More recently the property was a boarding school for girls until the 1980s when it was converted to residential use and the wings sold off separately.SERVICES   All mains services connected.COUNCIL TAX   Band G - £4,264.70 for 2024/2025.VIEWINGS    Strictly by appointment through the Sole Agents, Corbens, .
