The White Hart Hotel

The White Hart Hotel is a hotel built in the early to mid 19th century on the site of an earlier inn. The ground floor was altered in the late 19th century when bays were added. The building is rendered over brick and features incised pilaster quoins, with a slate roof that is concealed behind a parapet adorned with three finials.

It has a double fronted plan with a ballroom and a service wing at the rear. The hotel is three storeys high and has three bays. It features a deeply moulded cornice and very narrow blind semicircular-headed niches in the outer bays of the upper storeys. The upper storey has segmental-headed recesses containing sash windows divided into four panes, while the lower storey has casement windows. A balcony with a cast iron ornamental balustrade forms the roof of a Doric porch, which is complemented by projecting bay windows with four-pane sashes.

A model of a recumbent white hart sits on a plinth above the porch, with console brackets flanking the doorway. The doorway has panelled reveals and a half-glazed 20th-century door. Inside, the ballroom features a plaster frieze and ceiling rose, and the staircases and doors are from the late 19th century.
