White House

The White House is a house dating from circa 1690, altered in the early 19th century and with a wing added circa 1894, along with a linking section and porch, and extensions to the right and rear. The exterior is roughcast with stone dressings, and it has Lakeland slate roofs. The house is arranged in an "L" shape with a link incorporating a porch which connects the original house to a higher, late 19th-century wing.

The main south-facing front has two storeys and four bays. A porch in the link provides access. It has sash windows with glazing bars, with early 19th-century sashes on the first floor and late 19th-century sashes with wedge lintels on the ground floor. A single-storey, two-bay canted bay was added in the late 19th century, featuring sashes, glazing bars and a moulded cornice. Other details include square cast iron downpipes, triple square timber brackets at the eaves, ridge and gable copings, and rebuilt end and ridge stacks. The porch has a six-panelled door with an overlight and sidelights, set under a gable. A single-storey, two-bay extension is located at the right-hand end.

The garden front of the left-hand wing is two storeys and asymmetrical. Gabled end projections have two-storey canted bays with mid-20th century casement windows. A tall stair sash window is located to the right of a bay window on the left-hand gable. Between the gables are paired sashes to the right on the ground floor, and two first-floor sashes with sills and wedge lintels. Ornamental stone finials adorn the gables, and there's a moulded stone eaves cornice with matching brackets.

The rear elevation features two-storey extensions, and two round-headed stair windows with intersecting glazing bars. The original house contains internal features and woodwork of interest. The property was occupied in the early 19th century by John Andrew, who was known as a smuggler.
