Description
White Hall Farmhouse is a house that dates from the late 16th century, with extensions added in the 17th and 20th centuries. It is timber framed and plastered, with a thatched roof. The main part of the house consists of three bays facing southeast, featuring an axial stack at the right end and a stack from the 18th or 19th century at the left end. To the right, there is a 17th-century two-bay crosswing, which has small extensions from the 19th and 20th centuries that are roofed with corrugated asbestos. A 20th-century crosswing is located to the left. The house has one storey with attics.
On the ground floor, there is one 20th-century splayed bay of casements and three additional 20th-century casements. The first floor features four more casements, including two in slated swept dormers. The entrance has a four-panel door with glazed upper panels, set within a 20th-century porch that has a felt roof. Both crosswings are half-hipped.
The main range displays jowled posts, arched braces set inside heavy studding, and stop-chamfered axial and transverse beams with lamb's tongue stops. The joists are plain and of horizontal section, and the original floorboards are rebated. There is a large wood-burning hearth, which has been refaced in the 20th century. The right crosswing features a chamfered binding beam, plain joists of vertical section, and an early 17th-century clasped purlin roof. The farmhouse was formerly known as Hogg's Farm.
