The White House

ST51NW YEOVIL WITHOUT CP TINTINHULL ROAD (South side) 1/127 The White House (formerly known as Vagg Farmhouse) -

• II

Farmhouse, early C19 (possibly a rebuilding of that date), in the style of a villa. Rendered with stone plinth (all colourwashed), with pyramidal Welsh slated roof (now Turnerised) having wide bracketted soffites and central brick chimney stack. 2-storeys, 3-bays on each face. The main (East) elevation has a central 6 panelled door (of which the 2 upper panels are glazed) up four steps, set in a plain opening but with flat hood on plain corbel brackets: there are smallish 12-pane sash windows on both sides at both levels, the centre first floor bay being blank. To the basement (barely visible above ground) stone hollow chamfered mullioned windows suggesting the presence of earlier work. The garden (South) elevation is similar, but has added 4-pane sashes on either side of 2-ground floor windows, and a central doorcase (partly masked by a porch) with pairs of slender non-classical columns supporting an open pediment. The interior not seen. In the grounds of this house the Vagg Farm Granary (q.v.).
