Description
The White Hart Hotel is a house that has been converted into a hotel, dating from the late 16th century to early 17th century. It is constructed from painted limestone rubble, featuring a Ham Hill stone plinth and stone dressings around the ground-floor windows. The building has stepped stone coping and a brick stack on the left gable end, with a stone stack topped with brick located towards the right of the center.
The hotel has a three-unit through-passage plan, with a 19th-century rear wing to the left. It stands two storeys high and has a three-window range. The first-floor windows, which are located under the eaves that have been raised at the front, are 20th-century leaded four-light casements. The ground-floor windows vary in height and are set beneath label moulds; there are three to the left with hollow-moulded stone mullions, including a four-light window on the far left, a three-light window in the center, and a two-light window to the left of the 20th-century door. To the right of the door, there is a three-light casement with a wooden frame in a stone surround.
Inside, the central room features a quartered ceiling with stepped stop-chamfered beams and an open fireplace that has a complex moulded, slightly arched stone lintel, which backs onto the passage. The roof of the main building consists of three bays with ridge-in-notch trusses and two trenched purlins, which are jointed at the main rafters. The front wall has been raised, but the former main rafters remain visible.
