Description

The White House is a house dating from around 1830. It is built of colourwashed stucco, originally with a scribed ashlar appearance over coursed slatestone rubble, with a hipped slate roof. The roof features bracketed eaves and early 19th-century iron guttering decorated with lions' mask motifs. Rendered brick stacks mark the ends and the interior. The house follows a double-depth plan and is in a late Georgian style.

The front elevation has a symmetrical arrangement of 1:3:2 windows. A semi-circular arched doorway with a fanlight gives access to a mid-19th-century four-panelled door. Flat rendered arches are above the 12-pane sash windows. There are three smaller 20th-century windows to the right end of the ground floor.

Inside, the early 19th-century dog-leg staircase has a landing with fret-cut brackets, a wreathed handrail, and a wrought-iron balustrade similar to that found at Kenwith Castle.
