The White House

The White House is a house that dates back to the early 17th century, with significant additions made in the 18th and mid-19th centuries. It features a rendered timber frame, colour-washed brick, and pantile roofs. The original plan includes a 17th-century lobby entrance with an off-centre axial stack, a late 17th-century rear addition for services, an 18th-century extension to the north end of the front creating an L shape, and a 19th-century addition to the rear beneath a catslide roof.

The east front has two storeys with attics and a two-window range. There is a mid-19th-century panelled door opposite the stack, framed by a simple doorcase. The front has a symmetrical arrangement of four tripartite sash windows, two on each floor, with glazing bars arranged as 1/1:2/2:1/1. The gable end of the 18th-century extension features three-light casement windows in the attic and first floor, along with French windows on the ground floor, which are part of a former wide opening. The rear has irregular fenestration, including a mid-20th-century two-light metal-framed window, a 19th-century two-light casement with glazing bars, a late 20th-century glass door with glazing bars, and an early 19th-century three-light casement window with horizontal glazing bars. The first floor includes a mid-19th-century sash window with vertical glazing bars, a single-light casement with leaded glazing, a double sash with vertical glazing bars, and a tripartite sash. A distinctive moulded brick cornice features concave oval panels with a bead-and-reel lower border, and the stack has three polygonal shafts.

Inside, there is a fine brick arched chimneypiece in the parlour, and the original staircase is located to the west side of the stack. The hall and parlour have spinal bridging joists with closely spaced common joists. The first floor retains some 17th-century panelling, and although the roof structure is obscured, visible elements suggest a clasped purlin with wind bracing, altered at the junction with the 18th-century extension.
