White House School

White House School is a house that has been converted into a school. It was originally built in the early 18th century and was remodeled and enlarged in the early 19th century. The building is constructed of red brick, which has been rendered and painted on the front. It has a 20th-century concrete-tile roof, with slate roofs on the wings.

The main part of the building is three stories high with a gable-lit attic, and it features slightly set-back two-story wings from the early 19th century. The central block has a moulded plinth, banded rustication, a plat band, panelled end pilaster strips, a moulded stone cornice above the central bay, and a boxed gutter. There is an integral brick end stack on the left side. The façade is divided into three bays with a central break, featuring first-floor glazing bar sash windows and ground-floor wooden cross windows, all with stone sills and rusticated voussoirs. The left-hand first-floor window is lower than the others. A central 20th-century door is topped with a rectangular overlight, and there is a rendered porch with paired pilaster strips that support a frieze and a triangular pedimented gable. Access to the door is via four steps.

The right-hand wing has an integral brick end stack, a first-floor wooden cross window with a painted cill, and a half-glazed four-panel door with a rectangular overlight. The left-hand wing features a first-floor segmental-headed tripartite sash window. At the rear, the central block has a dentil brick eaves cornice, and the wing includes a dormer and an integral brick end stack. The wings have toothed-brick eaves cornices.

Inside, there is a single flight staircase dating from around 1710-1720 to the left of the entrance. This staircase features a closed string, balusters made of fluted columns on acanthus-wreathed vases, a ramped moulded handrail with curved knees, and fluted column-on-vase newel posts with octagonal bases and caps, along with a dado rail. The landing balustrade returns on two sides. The left-hand ground-floor room, rear corridor, and landing have moulded plaster cornices. The 18th-century doors have six raised and fielded panels with moulded architraves.
