Description
White House Farm House is a farmhouse dating from the late 16th century, with alterations and extensions made in the 19th and early 20th centuries. It features a timber frame that is plastered, and it has a plaintiled roof. The building has a three-cell lobby entry plan and stands two storeys high with an attic.
On the ground floor, the entrance is located to the right of the centre and consists of a four-panelled architraved door. To the left of the entrance is a large architraved transomed three-light glazing bar casement, followed by a 19th-century flat-headed canted bay window. The first floor has three-light glazing bar casements and a small early opening, all with architraves. There is a rebuilt axial ridge stack behind the entrance, and a 19th-century stack has been inserted between the hall and the service end to the left.
The left gable end features original curved brackets to the plates and a four-light window on the first floor. The right gable end also has original curved brackets to the plates, with a ground floor lean-to outshut and architraved glazing bar casements on both the first floor and attic. At the rear, there is a half-glazed door leading into the hall, with a first floor architraved sash and a ground floor canted bay window behind the parlour. A low gabled clay lump dairy addition is located behind the service end. Attached to the left is an early 20th-century single-storey addition with a gable end facing the front and a stack at the rear.
Inside, the farmhouse features close studding, a ground floor five-light chamfered mullioned window opening, and a stop chamfered binding beam. The stairs are positioned in front of the stack, and there is a first floor four-light window with a stud as the king mullion, flanked by diamond mullions. The interior also includes large cranked braces from jowled posts to cambered tie beams, a butt purlin roof with arched braces to the collars, cranked windbraces, and a ridge piece. The site is partly moated.
