The New Rooms Inn

The New Rooms Inn is a mid-19th century public house prominently situated on the corner of Cove Row. It has a slate roof and rendered exterior, with a slight rear wing featuring a swept-down roof. The building is three storeys high and has two windows on its main facade. Four-pane sash windows are set within moulded architraves to the left side, while the right side features a two-storey canted bay with sash windows and a moulded cornice below the main cornice. The ground floor is brought forward under a flat roof, with a central door flanked by full-width glazing in three lights with smaller panes above, all contained within pilasters doubled to the doorway and featuring a modelled stall riser. A six-panel fielded door with a fanlight is set back on the left. The exterior features channelled quoins, a frieze with a bold cornice, a blocking course brought forward above the quoins, and a parapet returned to the right flank on Cove Street. On the Cove Street elevation is a broad central stack and plain upper floors, carrying in bold raised sans-serif lettering the name “THE NEW ROOMS INN.” A further stack is located at the left-hand end. The ground floor is similarly brought forward with one plain panel and three lights, incorporating pilasters. The rear of the building has several 12-pane sashes, including one to the right that breaks through the eaves in a portion of the low-pitched roof. The ground floor is partially concealed by a later one-storey addition. The interior has not been inspected.
