Description
The White Lion Inn is an inn located on a corner site, consisting of two units. The walls are rendered, and the main range features a steep-pitched pantile roof with a brick end stack. The building has two storeys and a three-window arrangement of 8-pane sash windows set in reveals. On the ground floor, there is a square-headed carriage entrance with double doors on the left, and on the right, a frosted glass bar window. The central entrance is adorned with a bracketed doorcase, an overlight, enriched pilasters, a fascia, and a deep moulded cornice.
To the left, there is a cross wing with a gable end facade, a slate roof, and scored render. This wing has a single window range of later casement windows: a 2-light window on the top floor and a 4-light window on the first floor. Additionally, there is a 3-light fixed bar window with doorways featuring double doors on each side, along with an overall fascia and cornice supported by panelled pilasters.
Incorporated into the east wall and bordering the west side of the back yard is a section of the Port Wall, which is separately listed. The left unit of the inn retains one chamfered and stopped beam and part of a flagged floor.
