Description
The White Hart Hotel is an 18th century and early 19th century old coaching inn, featuring buildings arranged around a yard. The front, dating from the early 19th century, is two storeys high and divided into two sections. The larger, taller western section has a near-symmetrical form and is characterized by a carriageway entrance flanked by two square Doric columns and two pilasters. This supports an angular first-floor bay, which has two windows on the east side and three on the west. The roof is hipped with red tiles, and there is a prominent rectangular chimney stack at the east end with three tall flues, the outer ones set diagonally. The walls are finished in stucco, and the windows are sash types set in reveals. The bay features boarded walling and sash windows, with the central window designed as a Venetian light, and the eaves cornice above is carried as a pediment.
The eastern section has a window arrangement of 1.1.1 and includes a single-storey modern extension. It also has a red tile roof with a moulded eaves cornice that forms a pediment above the slightly projecting centre. The walls are stucco, and there are large sash windows, along with a large angular ground-floor bay on the west side. The former central door has been replaced with a sash window, and above it, a blank panel displays a decorative wrought-iron sign bracket. The former main entrance still retains its large panelled doors, but the only current entrance on the front is a plain door located in the centre of the west side.
To the west, a long two-storey red brick range forms an L-wing, concluding with a building that features exposed timber-framing. Within the yard, there is a granary on staddles, which has weather-boarded walls and a red tile half-hipped roof.
