The White Hart Royal Hotel

The White Hart Royal Hotel is a building that originated in the 16th century, underwent significant remodeling in the 17th century, and was largely altered again in the 18th century, as indicated by the date stone on the gable to the left that reads "F. RACHE FECIT 1782." The structure is constructed of both rubble and ashlar, topped with Welsh slate roofs. It consists of two blocks arranged at right angles, with the block facing Oxford Street exhibiting a more ancient character.

The hotel has two storeys and an attic, featuring four Yorkshire sash windows. It has a steeply pitched roof with stone verges, and the gable end displays sash windows with glazing bars alongside a three-light stone mullion casement in the gable. A prominent feature of the exterior is a large and tall stone stack. The High Street side of the building is more deliberately 18th century in style, with four sash windows above and three below, all with glazing bars. There is a central elliptical carriage arch with imposts and a keystone, which is now blocked and has modern doors in the recess.

The Oxford Street front includes a mid-19th century extension with a coach entry and a gabled dormer above. In the yard, the former stables, offices, and servants' quarters form a continuous two-storey perimeter. A double range extends at the rear, creating two courts; one section was a detached 18th-century kitchen with a half-hipped stone tile roof, which has since been converted into a larder and is now a boiler house.

Inside, the building clearly reflects the 18th-century adaptation of the Tudor house. The cobbled coachway is covered by a well-crafted moulded beam and hollow chamfer joists, similar to those found in the bar-room to the north. This bar-room features a 10-foot wide repaired Tudor-arch fireplace, which is moulded and has a wooden lintel. There is also an 18th-century panelled room to the south of the coachway, with the panelling adjusted when the room was extended by removing a passage.
