White House Farm, 1 Kerr’s Road, Gransha, Newtownards, Co Down, BT23 ?

White House Farm is a large two-storey gabled farm house situated on the west side of Kerr's Road, approximately two miles north-east of Newtownards. The building probably dates from the early 19th century (possibly pre-1834) and may originally have been single storey, or part single storey and part two storey, though evidence is inconclusive.

The house was comprehensively renovated in the 1970s, and now presents as a plain-rendered and painted facade with modern PVC windows throughout. The north-facing front elevation features a gabled porch with a modern door and large sidelight, positioned left of centre. Ground floor windows are irregularly spaced, with four similar windows to the first floor. The west gable has a window on the ground floor to the left and another to the first floor on the right, merging with a modern lean-to extension that is blank-walled. This extension has two sets of large modern patio doors to its rear. The east side of the property comprises a single-storey gabled section attached to the main gable, with a small window and partly glazed door to the north facade and a modern window opening with partly glazed door to the rear. A single-storey gabled outbuilding is attached at right angles to the east side of this section.

The roof is covered in Bangor blue slates with three rendered chimney stacks—two to each gable and one to the west of centre. Four Velux windows are positioned to the rear, and all rainwater goods are PVC.

Historical records show a building on this site from at least 1834 onwards according to Ordnance Survey maps of 1834 and 1858-60. The irregular arrangement of windows and chimneys suggests the original structure may have been single storey in part. When first surveyed in April 1972, the house displayed late Victorian or Edwardian decorative barge boards, implying the roof may have been raised during those periods. Early 19th-century valuation records for the property are unclear, suggesting it may have been held by either James Wilson (valued at £3-6-0) or Thomas Browne (valued at £5-7-1) circa 1835. The gabled porch appears to date from around 1970 and replaced an earlier flat-roofed structure.
