Description
The White Horse Public House is a building that originally served as a house, dating from the late 15th century to early 16th century. It features a cross wing that is part of an old hall house, with a mid-16th century addition in the center and a late 16th century cross wing to the south, or left end. There are 19th and 20th century extensions at both ends. The structure is timber framed with exposed half timbering from the 19th century on the first floor, while the lower part and the extensions are made of whitewashed brick. The front of the extensions has imitation framing, and the gables are tile hung in fishscale patterns, all under plain tiled roofs that are hipped to the left.
The old cross wing, which has two bays, is now positioned to the right of the center. The building has a two-bay range in the center and another two-bay cross wing at the left end. Additional projecting extensions create a half H-shape plan with a courtyard at the front. The building is two storeys high, with the projecting extensions being single storey. There is a square front stack on the left, a valley stack on the right, and end stacks on both sides. The first floor features one four-light leaded casement window in the center and a three-light window in the gable to the right. On the ground floor, there are two "cross" windows to the left and right of the center. A door is located to the right of the center, sheltered by a hipped roof brick porch. Additionally, there is a leaded casement window on the first floor of the right-hand wing, and a half-glazed door below it, accompanied by a three-light window at the end of the left-hand extension.
Inside, the old cross wing on the right has a crown post roof, and there is a significant amount of framing exposed in the ground floor rooms, although much of it has been restored.
