Description
The White House is a farmhouse that has been converted into two dwellings. It dates from the late 17th century and was remodeled around 1730. The building is constructed from colourwashed limestone rubble and features a gabled roof covered with old tiles, along with stone stacks at each end. It has a three-unit through-passage plan and stands two storeys tall with a three-window range.
Notable architectural features include a fine early 18th-century flat hood with carved consoles and a panelled soffit above a fielded six-panel door. The windows are 19th-century two- and three-light casements, with an early 18th-century bay added to the right, which uses similar materials and has a timber lintel over a 20th-century door and windows, along with a moulded wood cornice. At the rear, there is a 20th-century porch attached to a service wing made of limestone rubble, which has a 20th-century tiled roof, a stone gable end external stack, and an outshut to the left. There is also a 20th-century extension to the left.
Inside No. 12, the left room features a cased beam and a chamfered bressumer over an open fireplace, with adjacent newel stairs. An early 18th-century plank partition with two-panelled doors separates this room from the parlour on the right, which includes panelled shutters, a window seat, and a china closet dating from around 1730. There is a blocked two-light diamond-mullioned stair-light to the left. The first floor has a cased beam, two ribbed doors, and a panelled door, while the attic contains a collar truss and two closed trusses.
