Description
White Friars is an L-shaped house with a facade dating from the late 17th century, although it may have earlier elements behind it. The building has a plain tiled roof and consists of two storeys and an attic, featuring six windows and four hipped dormers. It is constructed of red brick and has a stringcourse parapet. The first floor has modern casement windows with lead lights, while the ground floor has plain obscured glass. The doorway is adorned with Doric pilasters, a triglyph frieze pediment, and a six-panel fielded door, with the top two panels cut away and glazed. The west end of the northwest wing concludes with a shaped Dutch gable. Inside, there is panelling. White Friars is part of a group with Nos 32 to 36 (even).
