The White House

The White House is a house dating from the mid-17th century, with alterations made in 1849 and around 1970. The original central section consists of three rooms. A one-window-wide extension was added to the left in the 19th century, and a two-window-wide extension to the right. The central section has a timber frame and plaster rendering, while the later extensions are built of red brick, now painted. The roofs are covered in Roman pantiles, except for the right-hand extension which has plain tiles. The internal chimneys are made of red brick. The early 20th century introduced mullioned windows with metal casements and leaded lights. The 19th century extensions feature two-light casements with arched heads above the first-floor windows, incorporating curved glazing bars. An early 20th century boarded and battened door provides access to the entrance. The original timber framing displays close-studding and arch bracing. The central chimney serves open fireplaces, altered during previous renovations, in the hall and parlour.
