The White House And Attached Wall And Railings

The White House, along with its attached wall and railings, is a house dating from the late 18th century to the mid-19th century. It is constructed of red brick and ashlar, with the house featuring whitewashed brick and whitewashed ashlar quoins. A cornice and blocking course conceal the hipped slate roof, which has single red brick stacks on the front left and right. The building is set on an ashlar plinth and stands two and a half storeys tall with three bays.

The central doorway has a six-fielded panel door with a decorative overlight, panelled reveal, reeded surround, and two decorative brackets supporting a hood. To the right of the doorway is a single tripartite glazing bar casement under a segmental arch, with two glazing bar sashes above and two smaller similar sashes on the top floor. The left bay has no openings, while slightly set back to the right is an early 19th-century two-storey, single bay wing made of whitewashed brick and slate, featuring a right red brick gable stack. This wing has a single tripartite glazing bar casement under a segmental arch and a single glazing bar sash above.

Projecting from the right of this wing is an ashlar coped wall that extends about one metre and ends in a small brick pier with shaped ashlar coping. In front of the house, extending at a right angle for about 17 metres, is a low red brick wall topped with 19th-century decorative iron railings, interrupted by the entrance to the doorway. The garden or south front has chamfered quoins and two two-storey bows, each with three glazing bar sashes featuring keyblocks on each floor, plus two small glazing bar sashes with keyblocks on the top floor.

Attached to the left of this front and set back is a two-storey, two-bay 19th-century wing made of red brick and hipped slate. This wing has a round-arched doorway with a reeded surround, impost, and keyblocks, along with a Gothick glazing bar fanlight and panelled door. To the left is a single Gothick glazing bar tripartite Yorkshire sash, with two similar sashes above. Inside, there is a geometric staircase with stick balusters and a continuous mahogany handrail.
