Description

The White House is a public house that has been converted into a house. It was built in the early 19th century and underwent alterations in the 20th century. The exterior features painted roughcast with exposed brick side walls and a slate M-shaped roof, which has two gables facing the road. The building is two storeys high with two main bays, each located below a gable. The ground-floor windows project on timber brackets and have slated pentices; they consist of three lights with timber mullions. The main first-floor windows also have three lights with a transom and feature casements, while a small casement window is located in the center. The central doorway is framed by a roughcast chamfered Tudor-arched surround and has a slated pentice supported by shaped timber brackets. The door is partly glazed, and the gable verges project. There are chimneys on the left and right sides, each with tall partly-rendered caps. Historically, the building was known as the Green Tree in 1830, kept by George Holgate, and later as the Sycamore Inn in 1836, kept by Alice Holgate. The interior has not been inspected.
