The White House And Adjoining Outbuildings, Wall And Railings

The White House is a late 18th-century house, now converted to flats, along with adjoining outbuildings, a wall, and railings. The building has undergone alterations and additions in the early and mid-19th century and the 20th century. It is constructed of brick, roughcast (a mixture of plaster and aggregate), and colourwashed surfaces, with a slate roof featuring five gable and three ridge stacks. The house is arranged in an L-shape, with two main blocks, each two windows wide, and a triple-range section to the southwest. A band runs across the garden front. The right block has a wooden eaves cornice. To the left of the garden front is a bow window supported by two Doric columns, originally with three plain sashes but later altered with insertions. The ground floor below this section has been infilled, with three plain sashes added. To the right, single plain sashes are present on each floor. The projecting left block has two plain sashes, and below, a cast-iron French window with a fanlight, and an altered window with three glazing bars and a reset fanlight above. The right return has a double coped gable to the left, with a two-story canted bay window featuring three plain sashes on each floor. To its right is a margin light stair window with a 20th-century casement below. The projecting right gable has a single plain sash and a cross casement, with a single-story lean-to addition incorporating ramped coped ends and a canted blind bay window with a small casement. A hipped outbuilding attached to the left return has two pairs of garage doors. The Millgate front features a block with a two-story canted bay window with plain sashes above and leaded casements below. To its right are two plain sashes on each floor, and further right a block with a plain sash, a cross casement, below which is a plain sash, and a close-boarded doorway. Beyond this is a hipped single-story outbuilding with no openings.

The interior includes a ground-floor room with Ionic pilasters, moulded wall panels, Ionic columns supporting the bow window, a modillioned cross beam ceiling, an enriched fireplace, and doorcases. The room above has a modillioned cornice. A panelled hallway contains a 19th-century open-well staircase with a design reminiscent of the early 17th century. A panelled room on the Millgate side has a 19th-century stone fireplace with an iron lintel and a stone overmantel on curved brackets.

Outside, a spearhead railing sits along the Millgate frontage, with a rendered plinth and square piers topped with pyramidal caps; it extends approximately 20 meters. A 19th-century brick boundary wall, including gable brick and stone coping, runs along the southwest side, extending approximately 80 meters.
