Description
The White House is a timber-framed house from the 16th or 17th century that has been completely encased in brick during the 19th century. It features a brick gabled crosswing from the 18th century on its west end and has a tiled roof with gabled ends. The house has one storey and an attic, with a range of five windows. The first-floor windows are gabled, and there are modern casements. Brick ridge stacks are present.
Inside, the timber framing is exposed, and there are some doors from the 16th or 17th century that are said to have been brought in. The house is noted to have been the residence of a farmer's daughter who married Lord Burleigh, later the Earl of Exeter, when he stayed at the nearby house called Burleigh under the name of John Jones in 1790.
