Description

The White House is an 18th-century front on a building that likely dates from an earlier period. It is a two-storey structure with a three-window front. The front is stuccoed and features a stringcourse and a wide eaves cornice. The windows have Venetian shutters, but the glazing bars are now missing. A tiled roof tops the building. The doorway has pilasters and a flat hood supported by heavy acanthus brackets, which are probably older than the facade. A good staircase is located inside.

Local climate

The White House receives an average of 750 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 69% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 69% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 28 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 70% of listed buildings. Of these, 13 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.
