The White House

The White House, originally known as East Villa and later Belvoir House, is a villa dating from around 1835, with later alterations. It was once owned by the Londesborough family. The building has two storeys and is roughcast with chamfered quoins. The entrance front features four windows with recessed sashes. The first floor has one window, while the ground floor has been altered by later additions. The villa includes Venetian shutters and one shallow gabled dormer with a round-headed sash, where the wall face extends through the eaves. The gable end has a slate roof with deep flat eaves supported by wooden brackets. The southeast garden front has five windows, with the leftmost window slightly projecting and featuring quoins and a low gable shaped like a broken pediment. It also has flat dormers, recessed sashes without glazing bars, and Venetian shutters. A blind lunette is present in the gable with block imposts. The property is set in fine grounds that extend down to the valley. Woodend, Art Gallery, Londesborough Lodge, and The White House, which includes gates and gate piers, form an important group.
