Description

The White House is a house dating from the late 17th century, which has been significantly altered in the 19th century. It is constructed of roughly coursed rubble slate and features Welsh slate roofs. The layout consists of two rooms with a central cross passage and rear stairs, along with a shippon (now converted) to the right under a lower roof line. To the left is a 19th-century front wing, which was raised to two storeys in the late 19th century, creating an overall L-shaped plan.

The exterior of the house has a three-window range, with Yorkshire sash windows on the first floor (two and four lights) and three-light Yorkshire sash windows flanking a roughly central doorway leading to the passage, which has a half-glazed and panelled door. The former shippon features a gabled dormer and a window below, both with Yorkshire sashes, as well as a separate doorway. There is a slit window to the right of the junction between the two sections of the house, the purpose of which is uncertain. The front wing obscures the lower part of a formerly front lateral stack, and there are two-light sashes on the inner elevation, with an end stack.

Inside, there is some 19th-century joinery alongside earlier wide floorboards and a wedge door. A narrow dairy is located at the rear of the left-hand room. The right-hand room and wing contain deep fireplaces, with the former showing evidence of a disused smoking chamber.
