Description
Segpool House was built on the site of the first Primitive Methodist Chapel (HER 11569) between 1859 and 1897. The house is a single storied gable building of local sandstone uncoursed rubble and a slate roof. The walls are around 0.5m thick. The roof trusses rise directly from the wall heads and the principal rafters are joined by a high collar nailed to the rafters and crossed in a halved joint at the apex. A single side purlin is trenched into the back of each principal rafter, and a light ridge piece is carried on a slotted board nailed to the apex of the truss. At the east gable, the slates run over the edge of the wall and are finished with a small mortar fillet. At the west end, the verge stands above the level of the slates and is finished with a sandstone water table. An L-shaped extension has been added in the 20th century on the north side. This includes the kitchen, which is a low and gables with an open rafter roof, an a lean-to lobby or porch. At the east end of the house there is a brick shed with a lean-to roof of corrugated iron. The present bathroom window in the south face has been altered in recent times. The whole of the west end of the house is also a 20th century addition, which is apparent from the roof covering, the windows and the side-alternate quoins. The extensions enlarged the floor area of the original house by almost 50%. In the south wall a large French window has been added with a steel lintel above. In the west wall there is a bow window of uPVC. The sandstone sill below this, is from a three-light mullioned window, possibly reused from elsewhere. In the peak of the gable there is a narrow vent from the attic. Inside only the bedroom and study have original lintels and projecting sills. In the attic there is an old window in the east gable and a single iron-framed skylight in the south slope of the roof. Below the square gable window is a trapdoor for a steep staircase or ladder from the kitchen. The principal rafters are covered with newspaper which dates to 1892. To the east of the house there is a small stable or loose-box built in a similar manner to the house. It has no windows. In the north wall there are a pair of vents made from ceramic drain pipes and there is a tall narrow vent in the south gable. At the north end there is an open-fronted brick shed, a former box privy and store. This simple house is of a type often used as accommodation for agricultural workers. The central door led directly into the kitchen, which lay at the west end. There was a fireplace in each gable wall. The part of the attic above the kitchen was used as a bedroom, reached by a steep stair or ladder by the chimney breast. The other downstairs room had a smaller chimney and was probably a bedroom or parlour {Archaeological Services Durham University}.

Description
Designated in 2009. The CA relates not to the medieval village (HER 1242) but to the 1960s settlement. The 10th Duke of Northumberland gave Newburn Urban District Council the land surrounding the village green in 1958. The gift included 30 houses, 2 chapels, the institute, 3 other buildings and 14 acres of land. The purpose of the gift was to 'maintain the rural character of the village as at present existing'. The village buildings were pictresque but dilapidated. The original boundaries were retained but the old buildings were replaced with Percy Way, The Green, Forge Walk and Bankhead Road. The Duke insisted that the stone from the demolished cottages were used in the rebuild. Two listed buildings, Bog House on the east of the green, and Park View to the south of the school were amongst the demolitions, as was the 'west' Primitive Methodist Chapel. The use of cohesive materials and design create a character worthy of preservation. The CA has been divided into sub areas each with a distinctive character. However the wooden window frames have been replaced by uPVC. Sub area A is The Green, the heart of the historic village. This includes the village institute, Wesleyan Chapel, Segpool House, Walbottle village school, Walbottle Farm, Wood Acre, The Barn, Walbottle Farm House, Bankhead Road, Forge Walk and Percy Way. Sub area B includes the late 19th century Dene Terrace and Bank Top House. Sub Area C, The Waggonway, is an area of green space and the former site of Duke Pit. Sub Area D includes the 20th century bungalows south of Walbottle Bank.
