Description
The White Hart Hotel is an early 19th-century hotel with older origins that has been altered in the 20th century. It features a rendered exterior with incised masonry patterns, likely over brick, and has a plain-tile roof with rendered brick end and internal stacks. The building has a double-depth plan and stands three stories tall with a five-window range.
The central entrance consists of double-leaf, panelled part-glazed doors flanked by side-lights and an overlight, all set within an open porch supported by Doric pillars on the outer sides and matching pilasters on the inner sides. This porch is topped with a full entablature, a blocking cornice, and a plinth designed to hold a life-size statue of a reclining stag adorned with a coronet around its neck.
The ground and first floors feature 12-pane sash windows with moulded, rendered surrounds and pulvinated friezes, which are framed by console brackets that support a cornice hood. The ground floor windows have sills resting on small console brackets at either end. The second floor has 6-pane square sashes with similar surrounds and sills. Additional architectural details include a rendered plinth, pilaster strips at either end, a sill band on the first floor, a storey band on the second floor, and a deep corbelled eaves cornice. The building is capped with a low blocking cornice that forms a parapet and has coped gable ends.
