Description
White Hill is a house dated 1611, featuring flanking coats of arms of Lord William Howard and Lady Elizabeth Dacre on a lintel stone that was repositioned in 1893 after being discovered inside the house. The front is constructed of whitewashed brick with a Welsh slate roof and brick chimney stacks, while the rear is made of whitewashed red sandstone rubble. The side walls have been widened towards the front with brick, and the roof line has been raised, also in brick. The house is two storeys high with two bays and has a single-storey, two-bay extension to the right.
A 20th-century glazed door is set within a 19th-century plain stone surround, featuring the dated lintel above. The house has sash windows with glazing bars, stone sills, and flat brick arches, along with a small filled fire window to the right. An interruption line in the brickwork between the floors indicates that this was originally a single-storey brick out-shot, which was raised to two storeys around 1893. The rear of the house is the original structure, altered in the 19th century, with a filled doorway on the extreme right now converted into a window. The 19th-century sash windows with glazing bars also have stone sills and lintels. The listing does not include the outbuildings. The lintel is illustrated and described in Rev Henry Whitehead's "Brampton in the Olden Times," pages 195-196.
