Description
White Moor House is a farmhouse dating from the late 17th century and 18th century, with 19th century additions and 20th century alterations. The building is constructed of brick, partly rendered, with ashlar dressings and a graduated hipped slate roof. It features plain and moulded eaves bands and a plain coped parapet on the south side, along with two ridge stacks. The house has two storeys plus attics and is five bays wide by four bays deep, forming a square plan.
The south front includes a full-width single storey addition from the late 19th century, which has a flat roof and parapet. The central entrance features a re-set rusticated doorcase with a pulvinated frieze and a triple keystone, topped by a pediment with a 19th century lamp. This entrance is flanked by single tripartite sash windows and a single plain sash at each end. Above, there are five plain sashes, and higher still, a central segmental-headed dormer is flanked by single gabled dormers.
On the west front, to the left, there is a 19th century canted leaded bay window with three sashes, with a single sash to its right. Above this, there are three plain sashes and a blank opening, followed by two pedimented dormers. The east front features, to the left, an early 19th century two-storey canted bay window with a parapet and a central French window. To the right, there is a tripartite sash, followed by a coped boundary wall with a segmental-headed doorway. Above, three plain sashes are present.
The adjoining brick boundary wall to the east has ashlar coping and a pair of gatepiers with supporting ramps, pyramid caps, and ball finials, along with two smaller piers that also have pyramid caps. Inside, the house boasts a notable 18th century rococo marble fireplace with Blue John panels and marble icicle work, flanked by single round-headed keystoned openings. There is also an 18th century marble Classical fireplace with scrolled pilasters and a lion mask, both originally from Thoresby Hall. The interior features a dogleg stair with landings, vase and stem balusters, and a moulded handrail.
