Description
White Hall Farmhouse is a former farmhouse dating from the late 16th century and the first half of the 17th century, built in two phases and renovated around 1980. It is timber framed with plaster infill and has a thatched roof. The two-storey symmetrical facade has four three-light mullion and transom windows of the 19th century, altered around 1980; the upper windows are set within gabled half-dormers. Wooden hoodmoulds are present over the ground floor windows. A lobby entrance has a gabled porch and a mid-20th century eight-panel door. An internal brick stack and an axial stack of 17th-century brick are present. Two lean-to additions are at the rear, the one on the left also being timber framed. The interior has been largely modernised, with much of the timber frame exposed, partly rebuilt on the ground floor. The two bays to the left of the stack are the earlier phase, with a frame featuring reverse-curved braces. The remaining three bays, incorporating the stack, are slightly higher, with the heads of the main posts having deep jowls. The rear wall has one blocked square-headed doorway and two first-floor windows with diamond mullions. Plain joists are throughout the ground floor, with two rooms on each side of the stack; the cross-partition to the left has been removed. The roof was not examined.
