Newington Hotel

The Newington Hotel comprises four houses built in the early 19th century. Numbers 149 and 151 date from 1823, and number 147 from 1827; number 153 is later. The building is constructed of brick with slate roofs, except for number 147 which has a concrete tile roof. It is three storeys high with attics and cellars. The south-east front features three of the original houses, each two bays wide, facing Mount Vale. Number 147 is taller than the others. The windows are sash windows without glazing bars, topped with rusticated stone lintels. Ground-floor windows of number 151 have 20th-century louvred shutters. Number 147 has a 20th-century flat-roofed dormer, and number 149 has a large 20th-century dormer constructed with slate hanging above the cornice. A large 20th-century window lights the basement of number 151. Numbers 147 and 149 each have a doorcase in their right-hand bay, featuring engaged fluted Doric columns and triglyph frieze blocks above the capitals. The doors have six raised and fielded panels, and the fanlights are decorated with a petal pattern. Modillioned gutter cornices run along the top. Chimneys are situated to the left of each former house. The return wall facing south-west has six bays, including the entrance to number 151, which has a pilaster doorcase with a cornice that forms a pediment. A 20th-century porch provides access to number 153 on the right. The interior remains uninspected.
