New Inn

The New Inn is an inn built in 1914, designed by architects Burnett and H. Orphoot of Edinburgh for Christine Hamlyn. It features a rubble and whitewashed exterior with slate gabled roofs in several sections and a large central rubble stack, along with another rubble stack on the right return. The building has a deliberately irregular plan, reflecting a loose Tudor style within the Arts and Crafts movement.

The inn is two storeys high with an attic and comprises three distinct sections. The left section has three bays, highlighted by a jettied gable that includes large multi-paned casements, with an additional multi-paned casement in the gable. Exposed joist beams are visible under the jetty, which is supported by a large sloping buttress on the ground floor and a rough corbel. On the ground floor, there are two multi-paned casements and a tall 24-pane sash window. The door opening features a door with six glazed lights, and there is ornamental plasterwork with a vine frieze and the date above the jetty.

The central section has a recessed first floor with a large multi-paned casement and a sash window, and the second floor includes a wooden balcony with a balustrade. The ground floor has a door opening with iron and wooden gates, leading to stairs on the right that ascend to the principal door opening on the first floor, which is a three-quarter glazed door. The third section is a gable wing to the right, featuring a casement on each floor. The right return showcases a large wooden balcony supported by timber posts with arch braces, a wooden balustrade on the first floor, and a hipped slate roof that rises to a stone rubble stack. The interior has not been inspected but is believed to contain original features. The inn was built by Burgess of London, as noted in a source from Country Life dated May 1, 1920.
