7/48 The White House
II
House, formerly farmhouse; early C16, altered and extended mid C16 and C17. 3- cell open-hall house; 2 storeys and attics. Timber-framed and rough-cast rendered. Thatched roof, hipped at the left-hand end; eyebrow casement dormer; axial chimney of red brick. Mainly C20 casements; a number of originally unglazed diamond-mullioned windows. Gabled C20 asbestos-slated entrance porch with boarded C19 door. An open-hall house of late type, with cross-passage entrance formed within the service end. Probably-original chimney serves the hall only; it backs onto the cross-passage. A crown-post roof with open truss having cambered arch-braced tie-beam, the arch-braces springing from square pilasters; the square crown-post has 4-way struts. Tension-braced close- studded walls of good quality. First floor structure inserted into hall mid C16. Attic floors inserted, and rear brewhouse wing with pantiled roof and saw-tooth pattern chimney stack of red brick added, early C17. A good and unusually complete example of the final phase of the mediaeval open-hall house.
