Description
White Hart House, formerly known as the Fox and Hounds Public House, is a house that likely dates from the late 17th century. It has a two-bay structure with an early 18th-century addition on the left and further 18th-century and 19th-century additions to the rear, along with 20th-century alterations and additions. The front elevation was remodeled in the late 19th century. The building features a timber frame and brick construction, with the front elevation rendered. It has an old tiled roof with lateral stacks and a cat-slide roof on the rear extension. The house has an L-shaped plan, with two windows on the original house and one on the extension, and it stands two storeys tall. There is a plain entrance to the right and late 19th-century tripartite sash windows on the ground floor with cambered heads. Inside, the original house has a timber-framed partition wall, with chamfered and stopped spine beams and some visible framing on the former outer walls, observable on both the ground and first floors. The 18th-century extension includes a chamfered spine beam, two early 18th-century six-panel doors with H-hinges, a moulded dado, and wide floorboards on the first floor.
