Description

The White Hart is an inn dating from the late 18th century. It is constructed of limestone ashlar and features a stone slate mansard roof with coped verges and stone stacks. The building consists of two parallel ranges with a rear service wing. It is two storeys high with an attic and has three windows across the front.

The entrance is located to the right of centre and consists of double flush-panelled doors topped with an open pediment on brackets. There are pairs of 12-pane sash windows on either side of the entrance. A plat band runs along the first floor, where there are pairs of sashes flanking a round-arched sash window, and a moulded stone eaves cornice is present. The lower pitch of the mansard roof has three 2-light attic casements.

On the left side of the building, there is a rendered return with a 2-light casement on the ground floor and a 2-light mullioned casement on the first floor. The right return features a large projecting stack on the left. The rear parallel range, which has a slightly lower roof and is a later addition to the front, includes a 16-pane sash window and a 2-light recessed cyma-mullioned casement on the ground floor, as well as two pairs of beaded sashes on the first floor.

The rear wing on the right has external stone steps leading to a four-panelled door on the first floor, and there is an attached cartshed with double planked doors. Inside, the inn has chamfered beams, along with some 20th-century alterations. A four-step stone mounting block is located against the front wall.
