Description

White Hole is a house that features the initials and date "W I R" and was built in 1731. It is constructed from rubble brought to course with dressed quoins and has a stone slate roof. The house is two storeys high and originally had a two-cell plan, with an additional cell added in the mid-18th century. The windows are all chamfered mullioned types, though some mullions are missing. There is a four-light window with a three-light window above it, and a six-light window with a four-light window above it as well. The original gabled porch, which has kneelers and coping, protects the inner doorway that features composite jambs and a stop-chamfered surround. The date is set within a decorative tressure. Quoins indicate the division with the added cell, which has a six-light window with a king mullion that has been much altered. There are inserted windows from around 1980. The house has one original stone stack on the ridge and one brick stack on the gable.
