The White House

The White House is a former farmhouse dating from around 1600. It has two storeys and attics, featuring a three-cell lobby-entrance plan, making it an unusually complete example of its type. The building is timber-framed and plastered, topped with a plaintiled roof that includes an original axial chimney made of buff/pink brick with a sawtooth shaft.

The windows are primarily from the 18th and 19th centuries, consisting of three-light casements. Above the entrance, there is one original ovolo-mullioned window, while the gables feature original diamond-mullioned windows. Additionally, there is another original window on the first storey of the rear wall that projects slightly in an oriel fashion. The entrance door is boarded and dates from the 19th century.

Inside, the timber framing is fully exposed. The parlour showcases close-studding, an ovolo-moulded bridging beam, and a fireplace lintel that matches. There is another lintelled fireplace in the hall and two arched fireplaces in the chambers, each complete with hearths. The roof structure consists of a two-tier bide purlin design, with the upper tier clasped and wind-braced, while the lower tier is butted between the principal rafters. A short central rear wing appears to be original.
