White Horse Inn, Compton Bassett, Calne, SN11 8RG

The White Horse Inn is believed to date from the early 18th Century and is an example of traditional rural Wiltshire architecture.

The main building comprises a two-storey, whitewashed stone building with a pitched stone roof and stone mullioned windows and a single storey extension to the rear, which forms part of the restaurant and gives access to a central external courtyard.

To the other side of the courtyard, there is a separate two storey building which houses the letting accommodation.

The recently renovated function/meeting room can be divided to cater for two simultaneous events, both with direct access to the garden, and is located in a separate single storey building.

Internally, the main property retains a number of original architectural features, including exposed timber beams, open fireplaces, and flagstone flooring.

There is a is a large landscaped trade garden to the left hand side of the pub buildings, whilst to the right, there is a grassed field.

The car park is to the rear of the plot.
