Description

The White Horse Public House is a building dating from the 17th and 18th centuries. The western part features colour-washed rough cast over a timber frame with a thatched roof, while the eastern part is made of colour-washed brick with a tiled roof. The structure has five bays, is one storey high with attics, and includes three red brick stacks—one at each gable end and one at the division between the two parts.

In the eastern part, there is a 20th-century door and a casement window on the ground floor, along with three dormers; the central dormer has a two-light horizontal sash window, and the flanking dormers have two-light casements. The western part features a 20th-century porch, two casement windows, and one dormer with a two-light horizontal sash. The western gable end has one sash window and one two-light horizontal sash. Additionally, there is a 20th-century extension at the rear.
