Description
White Gate is a house that was later divided into two dwellings. It dates from the early 17th century, with a parlour bay rebuilt in the 18th century and extensions added in the 19th century. The building has a timber frame with clay lump additions and some brick casing, all of which is plastered. It features a steeply pitched roof covered in plain tiles, with machine tiles and pantiles at the rear.
The layout follows a three-cell lobby entry plan and consists of two storeys and an attic. The entrance, located to the right of the centre, has an architraved four-panelled door. To the left is an architraved 16-pane glazing bar sash, and to the right is a 20th-century architraved cross casement, both with hoodboards. On the first floor, there are two architraved sashes with four and eight panes.
There is an axial ridge stack to the right of centre, situated between the hall and parlour, with red brick quoining and an 18th-century dark brick cap. The right end of the building is cased in 20th-century brick and features a first-floor three-light casement. The left end has a 19th-century external stack towards the front, a first-floor architraved 16-pane sash, and an attic five-light octagonal mullioned window.
At the rear left, there is a 19th-century two-storey lean-to with a half-glazed door and a four-over-eight pane sash in the outer return. To the rear right, there is a 19th-century one-storey lean-to with a brick-cased end.
Inside, the building displays close studding with chamfered mid-rails. The hall features an axial binding beam, an ogee stop-chamfered fireplace bressumer, and a chamfered doorway in the rear wall. The parlour and part of the stack have been rebuilt, with stairs located in front of the stack. On the first floor, there are reverse cranked arched braces in the walling and an internal partition, with four-light octagonal mullioned window openings to the rear, rebated for glass. The hall chamber has a chamfered four-centred arched fireplace, and the roof structure includes collars and halved principals clasping purlins, along with arched windbraces.
