Description
The White House is an 18th-century house located on Rectory Road in Haddiscoe. It is constructed of colourwashed brick and features a hipped roof covered with black glazed pantiles. The house has two storeys and an L-shaped plan. The main facade is symmetrical with five bays, showcasing renewed cross casements that have leaded glazing. The ground floor openings are segmental-headed, complete with keys and segmental drip moulds. There are recessed panels between the ground floor and first floor openings. The central entrance features a raised and fielded panelled door, framed by a keyed and moulded architrave, topped with a moulded brick pediment and flanked by Doric pilasters. The corners of the house are accentuated with brick pilasters, and it has coved eaves.
To the south, there is a 20th-century flat-roofed extension with a stone balustrade. The house has two red brick chimney stacks located behind the ridge line. At the rear, there is a lower two-storey range with a pantiled roof, which includes three windows with casements—three lights on the ground floor and two lights on the first floor. A central door with a canopy supported by brackets is also present, along with a red brick chimney stack on the ridge line. A plaque on the west wall notes that Sir J.A. Arnesby Brown R.A. (1866-1955) occupied the house for 50 years.
