The White House

The White House is a farmhouse, later converted into a house, dating from 1732, although incorporating earlier origins. It has undergone alterations and extensions in the 19th and 20th centuries. The house is constructed of whitened sandstone, with the extension built of painted brick, and has slate roofs with a red terracotta ridge cresting and a gable end stack.

The two-storey, two-bay front is complemented by a single-storey gabled porch and a two-storey, one-bay extension to the right. The porch features a round-arched opening with a framed, ledged and braced oak boarded door. The windows are primarily 2-light horizontal sliding sashes, with those in the attic set within gabled half dormers. A ground floor window on the left has been altered into French doors. A projecting stone band sits at first floor level, and a tablet is set between the first floor windows, displaying a heart motif, the initials G B I, and the date 1732. The extension has a half-glazed 4-panel door, and a 3-light flush casement window with glazing bars on the first floor, with a single course brick band at first floor level. The rear includes a single-storey wing and a lean-to outbuilding.

Inside, the house retains wide boarded doors on strap hinges. There is an inglenook with a firebeam, along with exposed beams and ceiling joists. A cottage staircase with winders leads to the first and attic floors. A bedroom features C16 style oak panelling. Further features include wide boarded doors and exposed beams and ceiling joists on the first floor, and boarded doors on T-hinges in the attic.
