White House Farmhouse

White House Farmhouse is a farmhouse, now a house, dating from the late 16th century to early 17th century, with later additions and alterations including a range added around the 1980s to the right. The structure is timber-framed with painted brick and plaster infill panels, topped by a gabled plain-tile roof and renewed brick stacks at the central and left ridges.

The building has a two-room plan and a box frame of three bays. The right (south) room is heated by an axial stack, while the left (north) room was formerly unheated. It features four large corner studs and a middle rail with small square panels of timber-framing and diagonal braces. The entrance is off-centre to the left, featuring a 20th-century plank door in a 20th-century timbered porch. Most windows are from the 20th century, including a small three-light window with lead cames to the left, a small window in the centre, and a two-light casement with lead cames to the right. On the first floor, there is a central small canted bay window between two-light windows, all with lead cames. The rear of the house shows exposed square frames on the left part, two 20th-century bay windows on the ground floor, and 20th-century casements. The right gable end is covered with weatherboarding.

Inside, much of the timber-frame is exposed, featuring a massive deeply-chamfered tie-beam in the central room and a chamfered spine beam in the right room, along with exposed rafters. The room to the right has a rebuilt inglenook, and there is a 20th-century staircase against the front wall. The roof includes exposed purlins and wind braces, a massive right end tie-beam, an exposed chamfered wall plate, and chamfered queen struts visible internally to the right. The building also has jowled corner studs.
