Description
White House is a house dating from the late 15th century or early 16th century, with alterations made in the 17th century. It features a timber frame and roughcast walls, topped by a machine tile roof with a central red brick ridge stack. The building has two storeys, with the ground floor displaying four recent glazing bar casements and the upper floor featuring two 19th-century casements. It consists of four bays, with the hall located on the left center. A stack and staircase have been inserted next to the wall of the right cross wing. The further bay on the right likely originates from the 17th century but was rebuilt in the 20th century. At the rear, there is an early 17th-century door frame.
