Description
The White Lion Public House is a building that originally consisted of three houses, dating from the mid to late 18th century. It is constructed of watershot hammer-dressed stone and features a graduated stone slate roof. The first bay is a double-depth, one bay wide structure with three storeys, while bays two and three were added later and each originally functioned as single-depth, two-storey cottages.
The first bay has a blocked door on the left with a rusticated keystone lintel, and an inserted door on the right with a chamfered surround and a basket-headed lintel. The building has three-light windows on the ground floor and five-light windows on both the first and second floors, all with chamfered stone mullions. The structure is accented with quoins and gable stacks.
The later cottages to the right feature blocked doors, two and three-light ground floor windows, and a twelve-light workshop window on the first floor, all of which have flat-faced stone mullions. A 20th-century addition obscures the rear of the cottages, but the house retains its two, three, and six-light mullion windows.
