The White House

The White House is a Grade II listed building located in Moreton Corbet, originally shown on the Ordnance Survey map as Nos. 39 and 40. This house dates from the mid-17th century, with early 18th-century alterations and additions, as well as mid- to late 19th-century extensions. It features a timber frame with painted brick nogging, which has been partly rebuilt and extended in painted brick, topped with a plain tile roof.

The building has a T-plan layout and was originally a baffle-entry house consisting of three framed bays positioned at right angles to the road, with an 18th-century wing to the south and a 19th-century wing to the north. It stands two storeys tall with an attic and includes a two-storey wing. The 17th-century range on the right has a brick ridge stack, while the 18th-century wing on the left displays a dentil brick eaves cornice and an integral brick end stack.

The gable end on the right features a ground-floor two-light small-paned casement, a blocked first-floor window, and a small two-light wooden attic casement. The left-hand return has two windows, with two-light small-paned casements on the first floor and three-light small-paned casements with segmental heads on the ground floor, along with a central blocked doorway. The left wing includes a ground-floor three-light segmental-headed wooden casement to the left and a segmental-headed 20th-century boarded door to the right.

The 19th-century addition to the west has a dentil brick eaves cornice and an integral brick end stack. The timber-framed gable end at the rear features a collar and tie-beam truss with queen struts and V-struts. The interior has not been inspected but is described in Eric Mercer's book, "English Vernacular Houses."
