Description
White Gables is a former farmhouse that has been converted into a house. It dates from the 15th century, with modifications in the mid to late 16th century, and further alterations in the late 18th century and mid-20th century. The building features brick-nogged timber-framing, a brick gable, and a shingled roof. It consists of a two-bay block with a single-bay wing, forming an 'L' shape, and is one and a half storeys tall, with each section being one room deep.
The facade facing Persh Lane has a base with gable crucks on the left, long braces extending from the eaves to the sill, and a single mid rail. There is an eight-pane horizontal window on the left, added in the 20th century, and a 16-pane similar window on the right, along with a two-light casement window featuring small panes above. The roof slopes down to lower eaves on the left return.
To the right is the added wing, which has three-panel high framing with the bottom close studded and the upper two panels square. It features long braces from the end posts to the sill and a heavy centre post. There is a single-light window to the left of centre, which occupies half of the original opening. The end brick gable frames the timber on the right, and there is a ridge chimney on the gable.
The left return, which faces Main Road, has framing that is two panels high, a blocked door on the right, and a three-light casement window with small panes. The end section on the left has painted brickwork. There is a gable chimney on the left and a large mid to late 20th century gabled dormer with a four-light casement and a bulls-eye window; the roof is hipped on the right. The interior is not accessible. The building was formerly thatched, and there were two additional timber-framed bays on the left side of the Main Road facade, which were likely demolished in the mid to late 20th century. A large dormer replaced a smaller, swept one, as seen in a photograph at the National Monuments Record and in "Picturesque Gloucestershire," published in 1928.
