White House

This is an 18th-century house located on the northwest side of Main Street, Shurdington. The house has a timber frame covered with rendered walls and a hipped roof covered with plain tiles. It is a two-story building following a baffle-entry plan. A later outshut and a hipped, single-story porch have been added to the ground floor, featuring a four-light casement window and a side entrance. There are two-light casement windows on each side of the facade and two two-light casements on the first floor. A central brick stack with two flues rises from the ridge. The right side of the house has a three-light ground-floor casement, a two-light first-floor casement, and a two-light casement to the outshut. The left side has a 20th-century verandah on the ground floor and a two-light casement on the first floor.

Inside, the front ground floor walls display exposed timber framing, beneath chamfered ceiling beams. The rear wall features smaller framing made of stout salvaged timbers that appear to be from the 16th or 17th century, with jowled corner posts reinforced by 18th-century iron straps. The roof contains substantial timbers, apparently salvaged, some cut for ceiling rafters and others chamfered, as if for display.
