Description
The White Horse Inn is an early 19th-century public house located on the east side of Newport Square in Launceston. The building is constructed of slatestone rubble with timber lintels, and has a rag slate roof with a hipped main section and deep eaves with paired brackets. Brick lateral stacks are visible at the rear.
The building has a double-depth plan and a rear wing on the right. It is two storeys high with a single-storey wing over a basement on the right, and has a symmetrical three-window front. The original windows are 16-pane hornless sashes. The central doorway features a six-panel door and overlight, and there is an old inn sign with relief stucco fatface letters. A wing on the right has an early 20th-century three-light transomed window above a display window, and a doorway with a recessed 20th-century door accessed by steps.
At the rear, two original 16-pane sashes and a round-headed stair window with a fanlight are present. The interior of the building has not been inspected.
