Description

The White House is a circa 1840 building of two storeys, built with stucco and a slate roof. It features two curved bays and retains two 19th-century casement windows. A central blank space exists between the windows. The ground floor windows have three lights each, set within architraves supported by brackets. A six-panelled door is positioned under a rectangular fanlight, itself framed by an architrave with brackets. Decorative lion's heads are spaced along the guttering, concealing the joints. This contributes to the group value of the building within the surrounding area.

Local climate

The White House sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 720 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 82% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 84% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 33 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 55% of listed buildings. Of these, 15 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.
