4/111 The White House (formerly listed as White House Farm) - 26.1.67 GV II

Farmhouse, now house. Probably late C17. Coursed rubble sandstone plinth, timber-framed with brick infill, stone slate roof, local type external stone end stack to left and a monumental brick ridge stack with four diagonal shafts to right of centre. Two storeys; three-and-half bays aligned roughly east/west, the eastern bay over a rubble-walled cellar. South elevation: regularly spaced early C19 casements, those to ground floor of 12 panes; those to first floor of nine panes except for a 4-light casement to chimney half-bay; 5-panelled door in early C20 porch to left of centre ledged door to cellar in east gable at the bottom of a flight of narrow straight, possibly C17, steps. Frame: four regular panels from cill to wall-plate, now with intermediate thin rails, possibly the result of nogging replacing plaster and wattle infill; diagonal struts from corner posts to wall-plates. Interior: the only part inspected was the cellar which has lamb's tongue run-out chamfer stops to its two ceiling beams and two sets of stone stairs formerly giving access to the ground floor room above.
