White House And Outbuildings

The White House and outbuildings, built around 1912 for N R D Tennant, an assistant master at Haileybury, is a large roughcast house featuring limestone dressings and a green slate roof, facing west. The building is two storeys with attics and includes three roughcast central chimneys, flat-topped two-light dormers, and a symmetrical entrance front within a forecourt. This forecourt is separated by a roughcast screen wall with circular openings leading to a central entrance.

The house showcases moulded stone ovolo mullioned windows with rectangular leaded glazing, a moulded stone eaves course, and rusticated quoins that alternate between exposed stone and roughcast. The central entrance features a moulded square door in a parapeted stone porch, flanked by canted stone bay windows on each side, with a three-light mullioned and transomed window above. There is one small and one large mullioned window on each side of the entrance.

The eastern garden front is terraced and includes two tall two-storey bays with a five-light mullioned window between them, three dormers, and a stone rusticated arched balustrade to the terrace. The property also includes contemporary outbuildings located in a service court at the northern end.
