Description
White Posts is a house dating from the mid to late 16th century, with additions from the 18th century. It was restored in 1976. The building features a timber frame with roughcast and has a steeply pitched tiled roof. It consists of four bays and two storeys, with one-storey additions at both ends. There is a continuous jetty at the front of the original block, and the entrance is located to the left. The house has 20th-century two-light small pane flush frame casements. The eaves have sprockets, and the central and right windows are widely spaced, with a ridge stack situated between them. The right end has an originally external stack, which is now part of a one-storey gabled outshut that is set back slightly. A similar outshut on the left has a stack at its left end. The rear features 20th-century casements and a gabled dormer on the right outshut. Inside, there is an original four-centred arched doorcase with inner hollow and outer cyma mouldings, a herringbone fireplace in English bond, chamfered bearers, stop-chamfered joists, jowled posts, first-floor curved passing tension braces, and a clasped purlin roof.
