Whitewall House And Attached Outbuilding

Whitehall House and attached outbuilding date from the early 19th century, though with earlier origins. The house is built of whitewashed stucco with a slate roof. It follows a central-stairhall plan, with a single room depth and a rear service wing. The house is two storeys and has an attic, with a four-window front. A 6-panel door is positioned right of centre, with a Gothick glazed overlight below a pedimented doorhood supported by brackets. Canted bays with cornices and small-pane sashes are present to the left and right, and a 16-pane sash with painted stone sills is located to the left of the door. Three similar windows are located on the first floor, with a 12-pane sash above the door. The attic windows are unequal 9-pane sashes. All sash windows have whitewashed wedge lintels. A dentilled eaves course is present, along with coped gables and moulded kneelers. End and left-of-centre stacks are visible. An outbuilding extends to the right, featuring a weathervane on its coped gable end. This gable end supports one end of a wrought-iron overthrow and lamp bracket linked to the Whitewall Cottages. The Whitewall Stables have historical connections to racing in Norton since the 18th century. The house was formerly the residence of John Scott, a notable 19th-century horse trainer.
