Description

The White House is a house dating from the 16th or 17th century, with early 19th-century alterations. It has two storeys and three windows, and likely follows a three-cell lobby-entrance plan. The building is timber-framed and plastered, with 19th-century gault brick encasing on the side. It features a hipped slated roof with an axial 18th-century chimney made of red brick, which has been recapped with 19th-century gault brick. The windows include three-light early 19th-century casements with transoms. To the right, there is a late 19th-century shop window with diamond-patterned lights at a low level. The entrance consists of a six-panelled early 19th-century door, along with a 19th-century stable-type door to the right.

Local climate

The White House sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 710 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 86% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 93% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 34 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 50% of listed buildings. Of these, 18 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.
