Description
New Inn House is a house that was formerly a public house, dating from the early 16th century. It features a hall house design with inserted floors and chimney stacks. The exterior is made of white-washed stone rubble and is topped with a thatched roof that has gabled and half-hipped ends. The building is L-shaped in plan, with a left-hand projecting wing that has a half-hipped gable. It has two storeys and a three-window range, with three-light casements that include glazing bars. There is a modern door leading to a cross passage located to the right of the center, accompanied by a modern wooden porch. The chimney stacks are made of brick and stone, positioned at the ends and over the ridge, and there is a single-storey lean-to at the south-east end, along with a later wing at the rear.
Inside, the house features jointed cruck trusses that show signs of smoke-blackening. There is a cambered arch doorway in the cross passage and a cambered fireplace bressummer above the inserted chimney stack. The ceiling beams are stop-chamfered. In a first-floor room, there is a four-centred arch stone chimneypiece that displays the initials A.P. and the date 1594 in medallions on the lintel. It is also said to have a timber-framed chimney.
