Description


WHIMPLE THE GREEN, (north side), Whimple
SY 0497-0597
10/220 The White House and Little Orchard
-
GV II

2 houses made by dividing a house known once as The Cypresses. Probably 1868, the
date on the nearby boundary walls (q.v). Plastered brick; brick stacks and
chimneyshafts; slate roof.
Plan: pair of houses occupying a former house. The house faces south-east. The
main block has a 3-room plan. The end rooms have gable-end stacks (the left one is
disused) and the centre room has an axial stack backing onto the right room.
Entrance hall and main stair between centre and left rooms. Kitchen in a rear block
right of centre. Possibly secondary (but still C19) extension on right end. White
House occupies the main centre and left rooms. Little Orchard occupies the main
right room and extension. 2 storeys, the extension is single storey with glasshouse
projecting in front.
Exterior: the main has a regular but symmetrical 4-window front of horned 4-pane
sashes (a fifth in the extension to right). The main doorway (now to the White
House) is left of centre and contains a part-glazed 6-panel door behind a flat-
roofed timber porch with moulded entablature and slightly tapering panelled square-
section posts. Stucco flat clasping pilasters each end. The roof is gable-ended.
The right end extension has an embattled parapet. Good late C19 glasshouse in
front. Shaped bargeboards on left end. To rear the stair lit by a sash with margin
panes.
Interior: modernised but includes some original joinery detail. For instance the
main entrance hall is tile-floored and contains an open string stick baluster stair
with mahogany handrail and curtail step. Roof not inspected.
