Description
White House Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse located in South Elmham St. Nicholas. It has two storeys and features a timber-framed structure, rendered on the upper floor and finished with colourwashed brick on the ground floor. The roof is covered with clay pantiles. There is an end chimney stack with a plain rebuilt red brick shaft set within the frame.
The farmhouse has two 3-light casement windows on each floor. The upper-floor windows are early 19th-century and include a transom with a small cast-iron opening casement in the middle, supported by pintle hinges. The ground-floor windows are early 20th-century and have a single horizontal glazing bar. The entrance features a plank door within a plain surround. The house is designed with a two-cell end-chimney plan, and the entry remains in its original position, although all internal timbers are covered.
