Description
White House Farm House is a farmhouse that dates back to the 15th century, with early 17th century, early 19th century, and 20th century alterations and additions. It features a timber frame that has been underbuilt in brick and rendered, topped with a pantile roof that is partly hipped and has four brick ridge stacks. The building is arranged in an L-plan with a lobby entry and has a two-storey, irregular four-bay front with a plinth on the right side. The entrance consists of an off-centre six-panelled door, flanked by one window to the left and two to the right. On the first floor, there are three windows; all but one are three-light glazing bar sliding sashes, while the exception has two lights. The three-bay roadside facade also features additional three-light sliding sashes.
At the rear of the building, the wall plate is visible, along with one angle bay post of the rear wing. Inside, the front range retains massive chamfered girders in the ground floor rooms and five bay posts from the original timber frame. The rear range, which may have been a barn, also has bay posts, and at the end away from the house, there is a room that contains a brick oven and a fireplace with a pyramidal stopped bressummer. The first floor of the rear range has a lime ash floor, likely added later, and two braced end bay posts are visible; the roof has been renewed. In the front range, bay posts, two of which are braced, can also be seen at the first floor level, along with studded partitions. The roof is constructed with clasped purlins with collars, pegged at the ridge, and features larch pole rafters that are 17th century in their current form but incorporate earlier elements. The central stack is made of wattle and daub construction at roof height, and the sawn-off rafters of the original rear wall are visible in the roof, indicating that the barn at the rear was an addition.
