47 and 48 High Street ((formerly White Hart Public House)

47 and 48 High Street, formerly known as the White Hart Public House, are two houses built in the late 18th century. They were combined and converted into an inn by 1856, then extensively remodeled and reverted back into two separate properties between 1986 and 1988. Currently, the ground floor features commercial premises.

The building is constructed of painted brickwork in Flemish bond and has a pantile roof. The late 20th-century shopfronts are made of timber, glazing, plastic, and tiles.

The structure has a roughly rectangular plan, with the main east range oriented north-south, running parallel to the High Street. At the rear, two adjoining parallel ranges extend to the west.

The principal east range stands three storeys tall and consists of five bays beneath a pitched roof, which is concealed behind a coped brick parapet. The roofline steps up just south of the central bay, indicating where the two properties were originally divided. Brick chimney stacks are located at both ends of the roof ridge. The ground floor features a pair of late 20th or early 21st-century shopfronts. The first and second floors each have five sash windows set within timber surrounds that are flush with the brickwork. The first-floor windows have six-over-six glazing, while the second-floor windows at number 47 (the three southernmost bays) are smaller, three-over-three sashes, and those at number 48 (the two northernmost bays) are six-over-six sashes. The windows at number 47 are positioned slightly higher than those at number 48. The four windows at number 48 have gauged brickwork heads with projecting keystones. A rainwater hopper at the southern end of the elevation is marked with the letters: ‘W H 1786’. At the rear of the main High Street range, there are two-storey rear ranges that project into the rear yard, which were rebuilt in the late 20th century.
