Description
The White House is an 18th-century timber-framed and plastered house located on Newport High Street. It features later additions and alterations, particularly in the north wing, which has been rebuilt or significantly changed. The main block of the house is two storeys high and has a three-window range of double-hung sashes with glazing bars. On the ground floor, there are two splayed bays with moulded cornices and a central doorway that includes a semi-circular ornamental fanlight, pilasters, and a modillion cornice. The roof is tiled and has a mansard design with two sloping-roofed dormers. The north wing is three storeys tall, with two double-hung sashes with glazing bars and moulded cornices on the first storey, while the second storey has modern casements. The ground storey features a modern doorway, and the roof is also tiled, with a half-hipped design at the east end.
Local climate
The White House sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 700 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 91% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 80% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 34 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 53% of listed buildings. Of these, 17 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.4°C per decade since 1991.
