Description
The White House is a house dating from around 1635, consisting of two sections. The front (south) is built of brick that was once colourwashed and is topped with black glazed pantiles, while the rear (north) has pantiles as well. The house is a single range with three bays, with the right-hand bay being a slightly later addition. It has two storeys and an attic.
The south front features flush sash windows with 16 panes of glazing. The two left-hand bays are constructed in Flemish bond and originally had gable end stacks, although the right-hand stack has been changed to an axial position. There is a platband and an oversailing cornice, a boarded door to the left bay, two windows, and one blocked opening on both the ground and first floors. The central bay has casement windows with glazing bars and raking dormers, as well as two roof lights on the left. The later right-hand bay is built in English bond and has a dentil cornice, a six-panelled door to the left with the upper two panels glazed, and one sash window on both the ground and first floors, along with a gable end stack. The right-hand gable features an uncoursed flint brick mosaic with brick above the eaves.
The rear (north) side facing the common has a brick plinth on a flint base and a platband. It includes a central semicircular headed window with glazing bars and margin lights, two ground floor meshed casements, and one upper floor sash with glazing bars. The left-hand bay is in brick, with English bond above and a castellated cornice, featuring scattered fenestration with one sash window on both the ground and first floors.
Inside, there is a large fireplace in the central cell and a straight staircase along the rear wall behind the stack, featuring bobbin and vase turned balusters that continue along the landing and to the attic. The roof has staggered purlins and curved collars. A late 20th-century linking bay connects the house to an adjacent barn to the west, with the ground floor end bay of the barn incorporated into the house.
