The White Hart

The White Hart is a public house, formerly an inn, likely built in the late 17th century but significantly rebuilt in the late 18th century and further modified in the 20th century.

Constructed from flint and brick, the building features a roof covered with pantiles. The facade is rendered and colourwashed, while the stable, made of brick laid in English bond, is also colourwashed and has a pantile-clad roof.

Situated at the corner of Cley Road and London Street, the building faces east onto London Street. It has a square main range with a rear wing on the south-west corner, which connects to the stable to the west, oriented north-south.

The White Hart Inn is two storeys high with an attic beneath a pitched roof that has an internal gable-end stack on the south side. The facade is four window bays wide, featuring pilaster strips at the corners and another defining the first bay. These pilasters extend to the parapet, which has a plain moulded cornice and a long, narrow recessed panel that resembles a frieze. The centrally located half-glazed door is framed by a fluted timber doorcase with a dentilled architrave and a plain hood. The windows are six-over-six pane unhorned, recessed sash windows, with one to the left of the front door, two to the right, and four on the first floor. There are also three flat-topped dormers entirely within the roof space.

The right gable end is illuminated on both floors by six-over-six pane sashes. The rear wing has a flat roof and is lit on the first floor by three similarly styled, irregularly spaced sashes, and on the ground floor by two horizontal, top-opening windows from the 20th century.

Inside, the ground floor has been opened up into a single space.
