The White House

The White House is a house, likely dating to the 16th century, with significant alterations in the 18th century. The core of the building probably originates from the 16th century, with substantial remains of an earlier timber-framed structure. The construction includes brick on a rubble plinth. A cruck is visible in the west gable, with spurs carrying a wall plate which runs at eaves level. A trace of a similar cruck and two tie beams are visible within the front wall, below the wall plate. The roof is thatched. The house is one-and-a-half storeys high, with a modern, thatched porch sheltering a central doorway. Renewed three-light windows are located on either side of the porch. There are two dormers above. A brick sill band is present, and a projecting stack is visible on the right-hand gable. A rear wing, constructed of painted brickwork, is likely from the 18th century or earlier, and shows a corner post and wall plate alongside the brickwork.
