Description
The White Bear Public House is an inn and stabling that dates back to around 1800, with a public house front added in the mid-19th century. It features limestone ashlar and render with limestone dressings, and has a gable stack, although the roof is not visible. The building has a double-depth plan with a single-depth rear block and is designed in a late Georgian style.
The structure is three storeys high and has a two-window range. It is accentuated by pilaster strips leading to a cornice and parapet. The ground floor has a public house front that includes right-hand semicircular-arched doorways with plate-glass fanlights and half-glazed doors, set within banded ashlar panels that reach up to a cornice. To the left of centre, there is a segmental-arched window with an architrave and a two-light plate-glass window. On the right, there is a segmental-arched carriage arch with incised voussoirs and double doors, which leads to a yard.
The return elevation of the yard has a three-window range, featuring a left-hand doorway with a three-pane overlight and a six-panel door, a central canted bay with four-over-four pane sashes, and flanking two-over-two pane sashes. There is a similar tripartite window to the right, all in exposed frames, along with six-over-six pane sashes. The central second-floor window is blind, with flanking sashes that have wrought-iron basket balconies. The two-storey rear block has three-over-six pane sashes on the ground floor and eight-over-eight pane sashes on the first floor, all in exposed frames.
The interior of the building has been largely remodelled in the late 20th century.
