Description

The White House is a manor house, now a private residence, dating from the 15th century with early 19th-century additions. It features painted render on a coursed rubble plinth, stone rubble, and a painted timber frame with painted infill panels. The roofs are covered in plain tiles, with a hipped tile roof. A large central stone ridge stack with a brick shaft is complemented by 19th-century integral brick eaves stacks. The structure includes a long range with one end representing the former great hall, a cross wing, and an early 19th-century extension that now forms the main house at the other end.

The exterior is two-storey with a single-storey and attic. The south-east front features an early 19th-century rendered two-storey, three-window hipped range with 6/6 sash windows under flat keyed lintels, and a central door with a surround that includes pilasters and a flat canopy. To the right, the stone rubble range of the old hall has a two-light upper-level casement and three two-light casements at the ground storey, along with a plain boarded door to the left.

The gable end is rendered with a two-light casement under weatherboarding, while the lower level is covered by a later lean-to extension. The rear includes a stone rubble range with a 6/6 sash window at the first storey and a blocked window at the ground storey. There is a central projecting gabled two-storey 16th-century timber-framed wing featuring close studding, straight tension braces, and an arched brace on the return side. The gable truss has a straight tie beam, vertical struts, a collar, and twin raking struts. To the left is the stone rubble hall range with a framed dormer above a three-light casement over a three-light casement at the ground storey.

Inside, the great hall consists of four unequal bays that were divided into two storeys in the 16th century, with the north bay occupied by a large chimney and fireplaces. The roof features various truss types, including sphere truss, jointed cruck, and full cruck truss, with curved windbraces. The building is believed to have been the manor house of Aston Munslow in medieval times, prior to the construction of the current house.
