Description

The White Horse Public House, located at 52 Broad Street, is a Grade II listed building that likely dates from the 18th century. It is a four-storey structure with a stuccoed timber frame, which fronts an earlier building from the 16th or 17th century and includes cellars. The ground floor features a bar front and the building is topped with a Welsh slate roof.

On the first floor, there is a three-light sash window in a wooden frame, while the second floor has one sash window in a wooden frame. The third floor contains a two-light casement window. Inside, the building includes a panelled door and may have some stencilled patterns on plaster, which are now covered, on the walls of the first floor.

The White Horse Public House is part of a group with Nos 48 to 53 and is in proximity to Trinity and Balliol Colleges.
