Description
White House Farmhouse is a house dating from the late 18th century and early 19th century. It is constructed of red and gault brick in Flemish bond and has a slate roof. The 18th-century section of the house is made of red brick and runs north-south, featuring two axial stacks. At the southern end, there is an early 19th-century crosswing made of gault brick, which serves as the entrance front and has internal stacks on each side. There is also a single-storey extension from the 19th century at the northern end. The house is two storeys high.
On the ground floor, there are two early 19th-century sash windows with 16 lights, while the first floor has two similar sash windows and one with 12 lights, all featuring flat brick arches. The entrance consists of a central 20th-century half-glazed door set within a simple flat-roofed porch supported by two columns, with three stone steps leading up to it. The roof is low-pitched and hipped. It is reported that a beam in the roof is inscribed with the date 1820.
White House is depicted on Chapman and Andre's map of 1777, located on a different site approximately 400 metres to the west. Both properties were built by a charity established in 1626 by Henry Smith, a salter and alderman of London, and the farm still belongs to this charity as of May 1985.
