The House Of Orange

The House of Orange, formerly known as the White House Farmhouse, is a house that dates back to the 16th century or earlier. It features a timber-framed structure with plaster and a steep old red tile gabled roof. This is a three-unit lobby entrance house with a large central chimney located one third from the north end, extending to the rear wall. The south gable end has been rebuilt in brick and includes an internal gable chimney.

The house has two storeys, a cellar, and an attic, facing west. At the northeast, there is a large two-storey brick rear wing from the 19th century, which has recessed sash windows. The front of the house has three windows on each floor, with a door aligned with the chimney. The exterior features modern panelled pargetting with basketwork or roughened panels and applied rose motifs. The entrance has a four-panel modern door set in a broad wooden surround with a moulded edge and a flat moulded hood.

The 19th-century two-light casement windows are almost flush with horizontal glazing bars and have dripboards supported by small brackets. Inside, cross beams and axial beams support the upper floor. A prominent 17th-century brick T-shaped chimney rises above the roof. The house may have been referred to as 'Veylys' in the 16th century, and its former name comes from an Elizabethan named Henry Whyte. This historic timber-framed house is part of a group within the village's conservation area.
