Nestled in the heritage town of Newport, Newport House is a stately Georgian property overlooking the Black Oak River and surrounded by rolling lawns and mature trees. Extending to approximately 1.4 hectares (three and a half acres), and also available in its entirety up to 5.25 hectares (thirteen acres), it is renowned for its proximity to the Great Western Greenway. This historic home offers a serene retreat with access to vibrant local amenities, outdoor activities, and excellent travel connections.

NEWPORT HOUSE
Gracefully situated with views to the river, Newport House is a masterpiece of Georgian elegance, constructed circa 1785. This stately residence, with its seven-bay design, exudes timeless charm and commands attention with its private grounds on the edge of Newport town. Cloaked in a veil of magnificent Virginia Creeper, the house is transformed towards late summer by a crimson burst of color enhancing its beauty and architectural splendor.

Stepping into Newport House, one is greeted by a stunning light-filled reception hall illuminated by two grand sash windows. To the left lies an exquisite drawing room crowned by a lofty ceiling and bay windows framed by three large sash windows adorned with elegant shutters. These are complemented by two additional sash windows on either side of the bay, all of which offer serene views of the Black Oak River. The room’s inviting ambiance is enhanced by an open Adams fireplace and the soft glow of three chandeliers. Adjacent to this is the dining room, a gracious space with four expansive sash windows, a period fireplace, and an ideal setting in which to host grand dinner parties and family gatherings.

To the right-hand side of the reception hall is a charming sitting room distinguished by another striking bay window. Smaller in scale than the other main reception rooms, this cozy retreat offers an intimate space for everyday living. Adjacent to the sitting room is a bar—a feature that harks back to when the property was an exclusive country house hotel. Both of these rooms feature period fireplaces.

The spacious kitchen is located on the ground floor towards the back of the property and offers ample room and facilities for culinary requirements typically found in commercial kitchens. The ground floor is further complemented by two en-suite bedrooms. Additionally, there are multiple storage rooms, two bathrooms, an office, cold store, cellar, and utility room—all providing practical and versatile spaces to meet various needs.

The inner hall is elegantly designed as an oval space featuring a spectacular curved staircase that gracefully ascends to first floor level. The staircase opens onto an expansive galleried landing crowned by a magnificent skylight that bathes both landing areas below in natural light while providing a stunning focal point that enhances their sense of grandeur.
