Description
The White House is a house that dates from the late 18th century to the early 19th century, which has been re-cased from an earlier structure. It is constructed of whitewashed brick with a tiled roof and features a central brick chimney stack. The building has a first-floor band course and a deep wooden eaves cornice supported by brackets. It stands two storeys tall with an attic and has five bays. The 19th-century windows are three-light wooden casements with cambered heads in the left-hand bays and gauged flat heads in the right. The first floor has louvred shutters. The central bay features a small modern casement window on the first floor and a square projection below with a hipped tiled roof. This projection includes a leaded casement window on the left and a panelled door on the right. The house has been significantly extended at the rear in the 20th century.
