Description

The White House is a 16th-century timber-framed house located on Church Lane in Nayland with Wissington. It features a cross wing at the north end and has later additions built onto this end. The house is two storeys high. The upper storey of the cross wing has exposed timber-framing and was originally jettied, but it is now underbuilt in brick. The main block of the house is plastered. On the north side of the cross wing, there is a three-storey addition with the lower part faced in painted brick. This addition has one window range and displays 18th to 19th-century external features. At the north end, there is a later two-storey addition that has two window ranges. The windows throughout the house are generally double-hung sashes with vertical glazing bars. The roofs are covered with old tiles.

Local climate

The White House sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 690 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 97% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 62% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 23 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 76% of listed buildings. Of these, 12 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.
