Description

The White House is a farmhouse, now divided into two dwellings, likely dating from the 17th century with later additions and alterations. It features a rendered timber frame on a rendered plinth, with painted brick additions and slate roofs. The building has a short hall range that runs east-west, with gabled cross-wings that project to the south on the east side and slightly to the north on the west side. It is two storeys high, with a gable-lit attic in the hall range.

On the south elevation, the gable of the west cross-wing has a 19th-century casement window on the first floor and a larder window on the ground floor. The hall range has a 19th-century barred window on each floor, with a pedimented hood over the ground floor window. The projecting gable features horned glazing bar sashes, with a tripartite window on the ground floor. There is an external lateral stack, which has been rebuilt in 19th-century red brick, at the front of the left gable, along with a red brick ridge stack to the right of the hall range and an internal lateral stack to the left of the right gable.

The east elevation has a flush gable on the right with a 19th-century casement window on each floor, both with pedimented hoods. The ground floor and attic windows are leaded, while the first-floor window has cast-iron lights. There is an additional 20th-century casement window with a pedimented hood on the first floor. A wide gabled porch is located at the center, featuring a 19th-century ledged door with a semi-circular fanlight. Irregularities in the render suggest that the attic of the gable may be jettied. To the north of the west cross-wing, there is a two-storey 19th-century brick range with a contemporary or slightly later lean-to to the east, both of which were extended to the right in the 20th century. The interior was not inspected during the last survey in January 1987, but it is likely to be of interest.
