Description
Thedwastre White House is a house dating from around 1530, with alterations made around 1840. It has two storeys and features a three-cell cross-entry plan. The structure is timber-framed and plastered, topped with a 19th-century slated roof. There is an axial chimney, with its shaft rebuilt in 19th-century gault brick, and a 19th-century gable chimney on the left. The house has 19th-century casement windows with three lights and a 19th-century entrance door that has six fielded panels, set beneath a simple portico porch supported by slender Doric columns.
Inside, despite the loss of the roof in the 19th century, the house remains a fairly complete example of a mid-16th-century residence. It features tension-braced close-studding, a blocked diamond mullioned window, and evidence of others. The hall contains well-crafted double-ogee moulded first floor joists and beams, while in the parlour, only the main beam is moulded. There are wide open fireplaces, with a moulded lintel over the hall fireplace and two sunk panels of brickwork over the parlour fireplace. The complete cross-passage screen is made of planks and moulded muntins. Although the service end partitions are missing, the unmoulded first floor members are exposed.
