Description
White House is a house located on Costock Main Street, dating from the mid-18th century, with an early 19th-century extension and late 19th-century alterations. The building is rendered, likely over red brick, and features a plain tile roof with a single ridge red brick stack. It has first and second floor bands and a single buttress on the left side. The house is two and a half storeys tall and consists of three bays.
The central doorway has a six-fielded panel door with a reeded surround and two brackets supporting a cornice. To the right of the door is a single double glazing bar sash window, and to the left is a single glazing bar sash. On the upper floors, there are two similar sashes above and two smaller similar sashes on the top floor.
To the right, there is a lower early 19th-century two-bay rendered extension with a plain tile roof and a right gable stack. The eaves feature dentil detailing, and bands extend from the main house, although the first floor band terminates at the late 19th-century gabled porch. This porch has a single arched fixed light on the front wall, a single segmental arched fixed light on the left wall, and a 20th-century glazing bar door on the right wall. Above the porch, breaking the second floor band, is a single small glazing bar casement window.
