Description
The White House is an 18th-century building, likely of earlier origins, originally an inn called the Old Star Inn. The front facade is modern stucco, with the end wall’s first floor tile-hung. The roof is tiled and half-hipped, featuring three hipped dormers. Five casement windows are present. A doorcase with a gabled tile-hung hood is a prominent feature. A 19th-century addition of red brick extends from the north-east end and comprises one storey and an attic, with a single window.

It experiences an average of 23 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 76% of listed buildings. Of these, 11 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.
