Description

White Hart House is a rear wing of a house, originally part of The White Hart Inn, dating from around 1600 and altered in 1983. The building is timber framed and plastered, with a roof made of handmade red clay tiles. The wing consists of three bays that extend obliquely backwards from the west wing of the inn. After its conversion to a separate house in 1983, it was extended by an additional three bays and features an external end stack facing east. The house is two storeys high, with four 20th-century casement windows on the ground floor and three on the first floor, along with an original window that has two ovolo mullions and three saddle bars, which has been blocked. There is a 20th-century halved door with a bracketed canopy. Inside, the house has jowled posts and chamfered beams with lamb's tongue stops.
