Description

The White House, along with the walls of a small courtyard to the left, is an office building dating from around 1820 to 1830. It features whitewashed render, flat eaves, and two parallel hipped roofs covered with old tiles, flanked by rendered chimneys. The building has pilasters at the corners, a band course at the first floor, and architrave surrounds on the windows. It is two storeys high with four bays, and the windows are 3-pane sashes. The third bay includes a contemporary four-panelled door, a rectangular fanlight above, and a wooden cornice hood supported by slender columns with fluted capitals. In front, there are early to mid-19th century cast iron railings. To the left, set back from the main building, is a single storey wing that was formerly a stable, constructed of flint with brick dressings and a slate roof. This wing features garage doors on the left, a window with a pointed arch, a keyblock, and Y-tracery in the centre, along with a door and a depressed archway with a keyblock to the right. In front of the building is a small courtyard enclosed by flint and brick walls that face the street.
