Description
The White Hart is a former coaching inn that now operates as a public house and restaurant. It dates from the 16th and 17th centuries, with extensions added in the 18th and 19th centuries, which create a central courtyard. The building features a timber frame with whitewashed rendered cladding on the front, whitewashed brick and render infill on the return fronts, and tile hanging on the first floor to the left of the street front. The roofs are plain tiled and vary in height, with end stacks to the left, a ridge stack in the center, and a large stack at the rear right.
The structure has two storeys and includes projecting gable front wings at each end. Each gable has a square bay with a glazing bar sash window beneath a hipped slate roof at the center of the first floor. There are five glazing bar sash windows across the first floor, spaced irregularly. On the ground floor, there is a glazing bar sash window to the right and a pentice roof single-storey addition to the left with a casement window. The left side features a pentice roof porch with glazed and half-glazed doors in the re-entrant angle, while the right side has another half-glazed door under a flat porch hood on brackets, along with a further half-glazed door to the left side of the right wing.
The left return front has a recessed range at the center with exposed framing, and a single-storey 19th-century range to the left with dentilled eaves. The right return front displays a significant amount of exposed framing from the 16th and 17th centuries. Inside, extensive framing is visible, although it has been restored. The building was undergoing restoration at the time of the re-survey.
