46, High Street

46 High Street is a house that was formerly known as the White Lion Public House. It dates back to around 1600 and was renovated in the late 20th century. The building is timber-framed and has plaster rendering on a plinth, topped with a plain tiled roof that is hipped at the south end. The original ridge stack is made of clunch rubble with local brick used for the upper courses. The house has a single range plan consisting of three bays, including a narrower entry and chimney bay. It stands two storeys tall with an attic.

On the first floor, there are three modern wood casement windows, and similar windows are found on the ground floor on either side of the lobby entry doorway. At the rear wall on the first floor, there is an original three-light diamond mullion casement window.

Inside, the layout consists of two rooms on either side of the chimney bay, featuring back-to-back inglenook hearths. The wall and ceiling frames are made with substantial scantling. The main beams are stop-chamfered and run transversally across the range, supported by prick posts that extend continuously from the sole plate to the wall plate, forming an intermediate truss without tiebeams. The prick posts in the room at the south end, which may have originally served as a parlour, are more elaborately moulded. A flight of brick steps leads to the first floor on the north side of the stack. The structure includes arch-braced tiebeams and main posts with long jowled heads. The roof is a clasped side purlin type with paired wind bracing. The ceiling frame, featuring transversal main beams supported by moulded brick posts, arch-braced tiebeams, and long jowled post heads, is similar to that found in the Mansion House in Covenay.
