The White House

The White House is a house and former doctor's surgery located in High Hesket. It dates from the late 17th century, with extensions added in the late 18th century. The building features painted stucco walls and is topped with a sandstone slate roof, along with graduated greenslate roofing and stucco chimney stacks.

The original part of the house, which now serves as the surgery, is a low, two-storey, three-bay cottage. It has sash windows with glazing bars set in late 18th-century painted stone surrounds, including one Yorkshire sash window in its original painted stone frame above. The extension is at right angles to the original structure and includes a glazed panelled door in a painted stone surround. The ground floor has double sash windows with glazing bars, all within painted stone surrounds. Notably, the bowed angle features a ground-floor double sash window with glazing bars. At the rear, there is a 20th-century outshut. Additionally, there is a post box from the reign of Queen Elizabeth II set into the right return wall.
