Description
The White Horse Inn is a farmhouse that has been converted into an inn. It dates back partly to the 14th or 15th century and was extensively remodeled in the early 17th century, with significant later additions and alterations, particularly in the early 19th century and mid-20th century. The building features a rendered exterior that conceals a timber frame, partly constructed using cruck techniques, and has machine tile roofs.
The oldest section is likely the two-bay gabled projection on the left, with a slightly later addition at right angles to the right, which was rebuilt and extended in the early 19th century. There are extensive lower additions to the rear from the mid-20th century. The inn has two storeys and a cellar beneath the gabled projection on the left, with a dentilled eaves cornice.
On the exterior, there are late 19th and mid-20th century casement windows, with one on each floor of the left gable, two directly below the eaves, and one to the lower left in the main range. The entrance is through a 20th-century lean-to porch located in the angle between the ranges, accompanied by a lean-to verandah on the right. A rendered stack is positioned in front of the ridge, roughly at the center of the main range.
Inside, the building features three true cruck trusses, with two in the left gable and one abutting to the right in the main range. The ground floor showcases chamfered ceiling beams and an exposed timber frame with square and rectangular panels.
