Description

The New Inn is a public house located on Fremington School Road, dating from the early 19th century and extended in the late 19th century. It is built of stone rubble with a rendered upper storey and features an asbestos slate roof that is hipped at the right end, complete with a wooden eaves cornice. Originally, the building had a symmetrical double pile plan with a central entrance on the main (north) front, which is now blocked, as is the entrance on the right (west) side that has curving end bays. An additional bay was added to the left end of the main front in the late 19th century. The building stands two storeys high and has a four-window range on the main front, with 16-paned hornless sashes on each floor. The ground floor windows feature rough stone voussoirs, while the right (west) side has a 16-paned sash above a slated gabled roof to a porch supported by rustic timber posts. The porch has a four-panelled inner door and is flanked by curving tripartite sashes in the end bays, which consist of 12-paned windows with 4-paned sliding sidelight sashes.
