Description
White's Farmhouse is a probable 16th-century farmhouse, with restoration work dated 1699. It is constructed of random rubble local stone with ashlar dressings and cob in the outshot, and has a double-Roman tiled roof with coped verges. A 20th-century brick stack is located to the left of the through passage, while a brick stack is in the right gable end. The farmhouse has a two-cell and cross passage plan, facing south, with an outshot addition and a former agricultural building attached to the east return.
The two-storey, three-bay facade has a 2-light hollow-chamfered mullioned window on the first floor, with a datestone inscribed "1699" between the first and second bays. The ground floor features 4-light mullioned windows with hoodmoulds, flanking a central wide doorway with a monopitch-roofed porch and coped verges. A similar 3-light window is on the left gable ground floor, above a 2-light window. Stepped buttresses are visible. The right return has a lower, double-Roman tiled roofed, four-bay range.
Inside, a plank and muntin screen with chamfered details separates the through passage. The west-end room has a blocked opening against the rear wall, a steeply chamfered beam with scroll stops, and an open fireplace. The former kitchen has a bressummer beam cut by the entrance to the wing, likely the site of a former curing chamber. A bread oven is located to the north. Two pairs of jointed cruck trusses are visible, and the roof space was not inspected.
