Description
The Old White Horse Inn is a public house that has been converted into a domestic residence, dating from the early 17th century. It features a timber frame with wattle and daub infill, and was faced with fletton brick in 1945. The building has a pantiled roof and stands two storeys high. There is a door located to the right of the centre, with five renewed timber cross casements on the ground floor and five late 18th-century casements under the eaves, with those on the right grouped in pairs. The roof is gabled with a ridge stack positioned to the left of centre. The east gable is roughcast and has a drip shelf at the eaves line. At the rear, there is a full-length outshut with a tall external stack. Inside, the passage is panelled, and the front parlour retains benches from its time as a public house. The central bridging beam is chamfered with elongated broach stops, while the bridging beam in the east room features tongue stops.
