Pub Conversion

At the entrance to the site is the former White Horse pub. This was granted permission for a ‘Change of Use’ converting it from a public house into two generous family homes, enhancing the listed structure in the process.

The unattractive single storey rear extensions were demolished, as these later additions made no positive contribution to the listing.
