Description
The White Hart Hotel is a 17th to 18th century coaching inn located on the south side of Fore Street. It features a stuccoed stone exterior with a steeply pitched gable-ended roof covered in new tiles. The building has overhanging eaves supported by end brackets over giant corner pilasters, and it stands three storeys tall with attics, comprising five bays. The windows are restored sash types with glazing bars, and the ground floor windows are set in segmental-headed openings. A central doorway with double doors leads to a portico supported by four granite Tuscan columns, which in turn supports a balcony with an iron balustrade. One of the balcony openings has French doors, and there is a plinth with a white deer on the balcony. The building also features three modern flat roof dormers and rendered chimney stacks at the gable ends.
To the left, there is a late 18th century addition that serves as an assembly room, which is two storeys high, has one bay, a hipped roof, rusticated quoins, a string course, and a round-headed sash window with glazing bars on the first floor. Inside, the hotel boasts a late 17th century open well staircase that spans all floors, featuring turned balusters, square newels, and a moulded handrail with a string decorated with a pulvinated frieze.
