Alfred, Lord Tennyson's meeting place is on the market

Leisure property specialists Fleurets are marketing the White Hart Inn, which is steeped in history and dates back to the 16th century.

The White Hart Inn is a beautifully-constructed two storey building, with a traditional interior boasting hoards of period features, from exposed beams to brick fire places.

The property possesses a number of public bars, a restaurant, large garden, tearoom with small shop selling every-day essential items as well as five en-suite letting rooms.

Gareth Hatton from Fleurets said: “Such characteristic opportunities like these very rarely come about. The reputation of the property is well known to both locals and visiting tourists. This would be a fantastic opportunity for someone looking to create a unique destination venue.

“Due to the significant size of the private accommodation, a new owner could also look to increase the number of letting rooms.”
