Description
The White Horse Inn is a 17th-century house that has been converted into an inn. It features a timber-framed structure with square framing and diagonal bracing. The right gable wall was rebuilt in the 20th century, and the building has a 20th-century tile roof with a brick stack. The inn has a two-unit plan and is two stories high with a two-window range. There is a central 20th-century porch and door. On the first floor, there are early 19th-century canted five-light leaded windows, and flanking the door are 6-light leaded windows with decorative top lights set in canted bays, topped with a stone slate roof. Each side wing has a gabled roof, and there is an internal stack on the front left.
Inside, there is a shouldered flat arch leading to a stone fireplace in the front right room, and some main chamfered and stopped beams remain, although the interior has been extensively remodelled. The left wing has rendered walling and retains 17th-century three-light casements with ovolo-moulded mullions. The rear block, also from the 17th century, has a timber frame on the right side only and is thatched, with a lateral brick stack. There is a 20th-century lean-to against the gable wall.
