Description

The White Lion Public House is an 18th-century building that has been altered and extended in the late 19th century and again in the mid-20th century. It features roughcast walls, lateral stacks, and a double-pile roof that is hipped at the front and has a mansard section at the back. The building has a double-depth plan and is designed in a mid-Georgian style, standing two stories tall with an attic and a three-window range.

The original front was broadly symmetrical, characterized by battered octagonal timber posts supporting a canopy that has a stone lion couchant above a two-leaf 19th-century door. A coped parapet extends down the right side of the building. To the right, there is a full-height bay from the 19th century, while the left side features paired ground-floor sash windows and smaller single sashes above, all set in shallow reveals with plate-glass sashes. The right return of the building has a projecting center with a mansard roof, a doorway with a wooden hood on brackets in the left section, a central three-window range of 6/6-pane sashes, horned on the ground floor, and a tripartite first-floor sash at the right end. The interior has been altered for use as a public house in the late 20th century.
