Description
White Rock is a farmhouse dating from the 15th century, with a mid-16th century parlour addition, creating a three-cell cross-entry house layout. There is a 20th-century lean-to at the rear. The building is timber framed and plastered, featuring weatherboarded gable ends and a pantiled roof. It has one and a half storeys, with mainly 19th-century casement windows, although there is one older casement window with some square-leaded glass. The right gable end includes a 16th-century window with cavetto mullions and a first-floor window with old diamond-leaded glass. A mid-20th-century door is present, along with four gabled dormers.
The farmhouse features a notable 16th-century stack with original sawtooth-pattern shafts and shaped projecting bricks at the base, along with an oblong inset panel and an upper sawtooth course of brickwork. The core of the house was originally an open hall with a queen-post roof, and it has a 16th-century inserted ceiling with chamfered joists. There is evidence of an axial partition at the service end and an original stair trap. The parlour addition showcases fine studding and several blocked windows with cavetto mullions. Inside the parlour, there is a 17th-century plaster ceiling adorned with Fleur-de-lys motifs. The upper end of the hall contains the 16th-century inserted stack and a contemporary newel stair. The roof has not been examined.
