Description
White House Farmhouse is a house dated 1722, although it has a considerably earlier core. The building is constructed of brick, painted white, with remnants of a former timber frame, and features a Swithland slate roof. It is two storeys high, with a hall and two cross wings in its layout.
The central range shows traces of a blocked doorway in the left-hand angle, a triple light sash window with a gauged brick head, a blocked window, and a doorway in the right-hand angle that leads to an inner cross passage. On the upper floor, there are three renewed two-light casement windows. The left-hand wing has a triple light sash window with a gauged brick head on the ground floor, a new wood mullioned and transomed window above, and a date stone in the gable apex featuring the initials H.K. Its side elevation includes a stone plinth, one massive full-height timber post, and a wall plate, along with a horizontal sliding sash window. The right-hand wing has a triple light sash window on each floor and a large projecting stack on its inner face.
Inside, the left-hand wing contains a heavily beamed room, while the central range features moulded beams, one timber post resting on a pad stone in the inner wall of the left-hand wing, and a fine staircase with turned balusters, which may date from the late 17th century. There is also a large red brick Victorian wing at the rear.
