Description
The White Lion Inn is a public house, originally a house, dated 1652. It features a timber frame with rendered whitewashed infill and a plain tile roof, standing two storeys tall. The building has a two cell baffle-entry plan.
On the north front, there is a gabled wing to the left, which has six by three cells of small framing with angle braces. The gable slightly jetties above, showcasing close studding on the lower body and a V-strut at the apex. The ground floor has three-light casement windows, while the first floor has two-light casement windows. To the right of the gabled wing is a projecting porch, likely from the 19th or 20th century, made of brick and painted to simulate timber framing, featuring a round arch. Adjacent to the porch are nine by three cells of uneven small framing, with two three-light windows on the ground floor and one three-light window on the first floor to the left. The date "1652" is painted in large Gothic numerals at mezzanine level. To the far left is a 20th-century brick addition with planks applied to simulate timber framing. A ridge chimney stack is located left of centre.
Inside, the ground floor has chamfered ceiling beams and a chamfered bressumer over an inglenook fireplace, which now serves as a bar.
