Description

SK 40 NW IBSTOCK OVERTON ROAD 7/36 22.10.52 The White House (formerly listed as House on east side of Overton Road)

II

Cottage. Date inscribed in render "Built 1480, restored 1915". Greystone rubble to ground floor, then render. Original rubble gable walls also visible, i.e. house has been considerably heightened and is now 2 storeys. 2-unit plan, with gable end stacks. Doorway slightly off centre. Casement windows probably date from 1915 rebuild.

This appears to be the only rubble or stone built house in the parish, and from its siting in association with narrow fields skirting the road, looks like an early squatters cottage.
