Description
White House Farmhouse is a former farmhouse dating from the 16th century, built in two stages, with an additional range added at right angles in the 18th century. It originally had a three-cell plan and consists of one storey with attics, while the parlour block is two storeys high. The building is timber-framed and plastered, featuring plaintiled roofs and an axial chimney with a shaft made of 19th-century gault brick. There are two gabled casement dormers in the lower range, and the windows are mainly early to mid-20th century small-pane casements. The entrance door is framed and boarded, dating from the 20th century, with two glazed panels and an open flat-roofed porch.
The lower range facing the road dates from the mid-16th century and displays arch-braced studwork, with shutter rebates for mullioned windows and a clasped-purlin roof. Three bays remain, and the western end has an adapted truss where cruck-formed knees support a collar-beam, which is likely a shortened version of the original tie-beam. Between 1560 and 1580, a parlour block was added, showcasing good close-studding and blocked mullioned windows, with an unusually flattened mullion profile featuring rib-and-cavetto mouldings. Inside, there is an open late 16th-century fireplace with a cambered lintel located in the hall.
