Description
The White Lion Inn consists of three houses and a rear cottage. The cottage is believed to date from 1723, while the houses were built around 1800. The building is constructed from coursed, squared rubble and features slated, gable-ended roofs. The original houses have end bricks at their ends. It is two storeys high with a seven-window range. The north-east end of the facade has sash windows with glazing bars, while the south-west end features 19th-century four-pane sashes. There is a canted bay window on the ground floor to the left, and a round-headed door is centrally located on the left house, topped with a 20th-century hood.
