Stable Block To North Of The White House

The stable block to the north of The White House is a barn and stables that is believed to include the core of a late 16th century timber-framed house, which is now a museum. The structure is built of stone rubble, with later repairs made in red brick on the northern bay, and brick on a rubble plinth in the middle bay on the west side. The southern bay features partly weatherboarded square framing with brick infill on a rubble plinth, and both gable ends are also weatherboarded. The roof is covered with plain tiles and the building has a three-cell plan.

On the exterior, the south-west side has a boarded door for each cell, along with ventilation holes and a loft opening in the middle bay. Inside, there is a single-purlin roof supported by straight windbraces. The end trusses are of the twin collar and vertical strut type, while the internal trusses are of the twin raking strut type and collar and vertical strut type. The northern cell, which is preserved as a stable, features chamfered bridging beams with ogee chamfer stops.
