Description

The White House, formerly known as Whitehorse Farmhouse, is a house that dates back to the 16th century or earlier, with later alterations. It is constructed with a timber frame and has a weatherboarded exterior with plastered returns. The roof is covered with red plain tiles and features two gabled dormers. There are external red brick chimney stacks on the left side and off-center at the rear. The house has one storey and attics, with a four-window range consisting of small paned vertically sliding sashes, which have pentice boards above them, and small paned casements in the dormers. The central entrance features a four-panel, two-light door, with moulded capitals and bases supporting the pilasters, a frieze, and a flat canopy. Above the doorway is a date inscription that reads "The White Horse - 1598."

Local climate

The White House sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 680 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 99% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 60% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 20 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 78% of listed buildings. Of these, 10 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
