Description
The White House is a Grade II listed building located on Stock High Street. It features a plastered front from the 18th century, with 19th-century alterations, and is built on an earlier timber-framed structure dating back to the 16th or 17th century. The house has two storeys and attics, with a three-window range consisting of 19th-century double-hung sashes that have single vertical glazing bars.
In the centre of the front, there is a rectangular bay, while the ground storey includes two canted bays. The attic spaces are illuminated by windows located in the gables. A doorway on the west end is framed by a wooden doorcase that includes fluted pilasters, a triglyph frieze, and an open pediment. The roof is tiled and half-hipped, featuring a dentilled wooden eaves cornice and a central chimney stack with three diagonally set shafts.
The White House, along with Nos 51 and 59, forms a group with Nos 44 to 54 (even).
