Description
White Hopton, also known as Pied Hopton, is a timber-framed building with a slate roof, featuring a stone rear wing that dates from the 18th to early 19th century. The timber framing consists of three panels high on the ground floor and an additional two panels above the mid-wall bressumer. The building has a jettied section at the north end supported by plain brackets, with corner posts that have monoxylous colonnettes and herringbone framing, topped by a jettied gable. There is a central boarded door set within a 20th-century open gabled porch, and the windows are modern with paned designs and coarsely moulded architraves that resemble former paned sashes. The south gable framing is painted over rendering, and there is a central brick stack with octagonal brick flues. The rear wing has two storeys and features modern doors and windows.
Inside, the parlour to the left of the stack has chamfered beams that create a six-bay ceiling with exposed joists. The original stair located behind the stack has been replaced by a straight flight in the post-1840 wing. There are back-to-back stone fireplaces, with the larger one on the kitchen side, and an oven situated beneath the original stair. The fire beams are chamfered, and there are straight windbraces in the central bay and gable trusses. The interior also includes several well-preserved 17th-century ledged and boarded doors.
