New Inn

The New Inn is an inn with origins in the late 16th or early 17th century, marked by a dated plaster overmantel from 1665. A rear wing was added in the later 17th century, with an addition to the left in the 18th century; subsequent alterations and additions occurred in the 19th and 20th centuries. The construction is primarily of pennant rubble, rendered and painted, with the exception of the centre front range and the rear of the cross wing. The roofs are double Roman tiled, with gables and external stacks, incorporating some pantiles.

Originally planned with three rooms and a through passage, and featuring a cross wing to the south, the building later gained a rear wing and an addition to the north. The central block, of 1½ storeys, has a ground floor featuring a two-light casement with timber lintel, a 20th-century door, a six-pane sash window, an external weathered stack, and a four-light casement with chamfered mullions and timber lintel. Irregular gables are present, with varying 20th-century windows. The cross wing to the right has a half-hipped roof. A two-storey addition to the left has three 20th-century casements on the ground floor and a three-light casement under the eaves. The right return features a catslide roof to the left, garage doors, and a 20th-century window, alongside a gable rising nearly to the ridge, a 20th-century gabled porch, and a three-light window within the gable. The left return includes a single-storey pantiled lean-to and a 20th-century window above. The rear elevation presents a two-and-a-half-storey wing with steep gables and a three-light wooden casement with ovolo mullions at ground floor, alongside a blocked window in the gable. 20th-century single-storey additions are present to the rear and left. A gable stack with two diagonal chimneys is also visible.

Inside the central block, the walls are approximately 600 mm thick, and the windows have splayed reveals. A fireplace with a heavy timber lintel and an oven to the left is located beneath the ridge stack. A blocked fireplace, originally associated with an external stack, retains its plaster overmantel, dated 1665, decorated with a deep panel, a central moulded square, and large fleur-de-lys. The roof is inaccessible but is reportedly composed of principals with curved feet. The cross wing was previously used as a forge.
