Description

White Oak is a house, likely originally a pair of cottages, dating from the late 18th century or early 19th century. It has been heavily remodeled and extended in the 20th century. The exterior features painted rendered stone rubble and cob, with a thatch roof and gable end stacks that are rendered. The original layout is obscured by later changes, but the current arrangement includes a heated room on each side of a central stair hall. A continuous outshut at the rear was rebuilt in the 20th century, along with a 20th-century lean-to at the left end. The house is two storeys high and has a four-window range. The early 20th-century windows are two-light casements with two panes per light, while the ground floor has three-light casements with three panes per light. There is a 20th-century porch with a hipped asbestos-tiled roof. Inside, the entire space has been altered in the 20th century, but each fireplace still retains a cloam bread oven. The roof structure is from the 19th century.
