Description
The White Horse Inn is a public house located in Moretonhampstead, dating from around 1840 to 1850, with a slightly later 19th-century addition on the right and a late 19th-century rear wing. The building features roughcast stone rubble with stuccoed details, originally fully stuccoed, and has bitumen-coated slate roofs with gabled ends. There is a rendered stack at the left gable end with a cornice and a brick stack at the right gable end. The original layout included principal rooms on either side of the entrance, with a carriageway on the right that likely represents a later addition. The late 19th-century rear wing has a roofed-over yard, and ground floor partitions in the original range were removed in the 20th century.
The inn is two storeys high and has an almost symmetrical five-window range, with wider spacing to the right over the carriageway. The facade features a moulded plinth, a heavy moulded stucco cornice, and a stuccoed parapet with coping. All windows are 12-pane sashes with later louvred shutters, except for a two-light sash on the ground floor to the left. There is a stuccoed hoodmould over the two central windows and a heavy moulded stuccoed cornice above the carriageway and right-hand window. The doorway to the left of centre has a fielded and moulded six-panel door with a rectangular overlight and a 20th-century wooden canopy. A late 19th-century gabled dormer is located to the right. The facade remains largely unaltered from the 19th century and is situated prominently in the town centre.
