Description

The White Bear Inn is a public house with origins dating back to the 18th century, featuring early 19th-century alterations and additions, as well as later modifications. The building is constructed of brick, with the front stuccoed and the lower section of the range to the left rendered. It has a pantile roof and a two-room plan with a central entrance. The house is two storeys high and has two first-floor windows. It features a plinth and chamfered quoins. The entrance includes a doorcase with a bracketed hood and a panelled door beneath a plain overlight set in a reveal. The late 19th-century four-pane sash windows are framed in earlier flush wooden architraves, with those on the ground floor positioned beneath keyed stucco flat arches. There is a first-floor band and a plain wooden eaves board, with an end stack located to the left. The range to the left consists of two builds and has a blocked segmental-arched ground-floor opening, which is largely obscured by rendering, as well as a blocked first-floor opening. The left gable end displays a wrought-iron date of "1811." Inside the house, there is a boxed-in spine beam and an inglenook fireplace in the left room, although the interior has not been fully investigated.
