Description
The White Hart Inn is a public house dating from the late 16th century to early 17th century, with a west wing likely added in the 18th century. The building features rubble stone walls, although part of the wing is plastered, and it has a thatched roof with a coped gable at the right end. There are brick stacks at the ends, with one added in the 20th century at the front of the wing. The inn is two storeys high.
In the main range, there is a ledged door set in a moulded frame. The ground floor has two four-light and one three-light stone mullioned windows, each with hoodmoulds. The first floor contains four casements with glazing bars. The left wing, which projects at the front, has two 20th-century casements on the ground floor. At the rear, there are two added wings: one single-storey with a pantile roof and another two-storey with a slate roof.
Inside, the right ground floor room features a large open fireplace with a timber lintel. There are some exposed chamfered ceiling beams and evidence of a former cross-passage.
