Several of these, together with other joinery elements such as fitted bookcases within modern fabric, have been designed in a style that could be described as Strawberry Hill Gothic a playful and imaginative interpretation of the Gothic style. These lobbies are required to meet Part B (fire) of the Building Regulations and are essential to the hotels ability to operate as a licensed premises; Air handling pipework concealed within cupboards, with ventilation grilles carefully integrated into ceilings and wall panelling; Air handling condensers located on the roof; Introduction of a new oriel window to the rear upper landing of No. 5; Removal of a partition between the front and rear rooms at ground floor level of No. 6, identified in the 1966 survey and shown on historic plans.
