The White House

The White House is a house, probably dating from the early 18th century, which was extensively renovated in 1970 by the District Council, architects Beauchamp and Addey, as recorded on a plaque. It incorporates what was formerly a doctor's surgery. The ground floor is white painted brick, while the first floor is tile-hung, and the roof is covered in peg tiles with a brick stack.

The house faces north onto the High Street. It was likely originally built with a three-room plan, including a lobby entrance, but was later reconfigured into two cottages. A further re-planning occurred in 1970. The main range includes outshuts to the rear on both the left and right sides.

The two-storey exterior has a roof which is half-hipped at the ends and features deep eaves supported by modillion brackets grouped in threes. There is a moulded fascia at the first floor level. The asymmetrical front has a three-window arrangement. A flat porch hood with a moulded cornice shelters two 20th-century panelled front doors located to the right of centre. There are three 20th-century three-light iron-framed casement windows on the ground floor and two on the first floor, all with square leaded panes. A large plaque commemorating the 1970 renovations is positioned on the first floor. The side returns have 20th-century windows and doors.

The interior appears to have been extensively re-planned during the 1970 renovations, although only partially inspected.
