The White House

The White House is a house that dates from the late 16th century, with extensions added in the 17th and 20th centuries. It has a timber frame, mostly covered in plaster, with some areas of painted brick in Flemish bond, and is topped with handmade red clay tiles. The house has four bays facing east and features an axial chimney stack located in the second bay from the left end, creating a lobby-entrance plan. There is a one-bay extension from the 17th century at the front of the left bay, which includes a chimney stack in the left front corner. A single-storey extension from the 20th century is situated to the right. The building is two storeys high.

In the left wing, there is a one-window range of 18th-century sashes with 20 lights. The main range is faced with brick and has three 19th or 20th-century sashes with six lights on the ground floor and two on the first floor. All front windows are fitted with louvred shutters. The entrance features a half-glazed door set in a fluted architrave, accompanied by a 20th-century gabled porch.

Inside, the house boasts chamfered axial beams with lamb's tongue stops, exposed plain joists with a horizontal section, and some heavy studding with near-straight bracing set inside. The posts are jowled, and the roof has clasped purlins with curved wind bracing. The weathered studding of the main wall is exposed in the front extension, which also contains a late 18th or early 19th-century corner cupboard. The building was formerly known as Blue Pale Farm.
