Description

The White Horse Hotel is an early 19th-century building located on the south side of West Street in Ditchling. It stands two storeys high and features four windows. The exterior is stuccoed, with the westernmost window bay originally recessed and faced with painted brick, although its ground floor has been built out. The building has a tiled roof, and the first floor retains its glazing bars. There are two doorways, each adorned with pilasters and projecting cornices, although one of these doorways has been converted into a window.
