Description

White House is a house, likely a former shop, dating from the 18th century and later. It is constructed of rendered brick and features a pan-tiled roof. The building has two storeys and three bays. In the north bay, there is a four-light former shop window with a simple entablature supported by pilasters. The other windows are 19th-century sashes with vertical glazing bars. The central entrance has a panelled front door with a simple door case above it. The building also has a dentilated cornice and gable-end stacks. It is included for its group value.
