Description

Whitelackington House is a detached house that is part of a larger 17th century structure, with alterations made in the 18th and 19th centuries. It is built from near-ashlar Ham stone and features Welsh slate roofs with moulded coped gables, some topped with obelisk finials, and brick chimney stacks. The house has two storeys with an attic and a west entrance facade that consists of four bays. It has a chamfered plinth and large gables above pairs of bays. The windows are hollow-chamfered mullioned types set in recesses without labels below, but with labels on the first floor and attic. Most windows are three-light, except for the upper bay two, which has a semi-circular arched sash window with an arched label. Below this window is a moulded semi-circular arched doorway featuring a six-panel door and a radially-glazed fanlight. In 1981, an open stone porch with Doric columns and a plain entablature was added.

The forth elevation has five bays with sash windows in architraves on the inner bays. The windows in bay two are set higher and have semi-circular arched heads. Bays three and four contain nine-pane windows below and twelve-pane windows above, with a part-glazed door located between these bays. The outer bays feature projecting chimney stacks that are partly gabled at the tops. The east elevation, which is gabled like the west, has four bays with 16-pane sash windows in architraves. The upper bay three has a semi-circular arched sash window with a 'I'-traceried head, and below it is a semi-circular arched doorway with Doric side pilasters and an open pediment hood.

Two gazebos are attached to the southern corners of the house, and there is a small lean-to on the north elevation. The interior has not been seen, but it is reported that a 17th century wood newel stair survives up to the attic.
