The White House, 24 Dirleton Avenue, North Berwick

The White House, located at 24 Dirleton Avenue in North Berwick, is a building designed by Kinnear and Peddie in 1894. This two-storey and attic house features a near-symmetrical design with elements inspired by 17th-century Scottish architecture. It has undergone additions and alterations in 1919 and 1950. The exterior is harled with a red rubble base course, complemented by ashlar dressings, margins, and crowsteps.

On the south elevation, the house has three central bays with an off-centre left doorway. The doorway is framed by a lugged ashlar architrave topped with a broken pediment. There are bipartite windows to the left and right of the entrance. The first floor features three ashlar gable dormer heads that break the eaves. To the right of the central bays, there is an advanced crowstepped gable with a cone-roofed turret covered in green slates, which is corbelled out below the first-floor cills and topped with an onion finial. This gable also includes a projecting five-light window at ground level with a parapet, along with two single lights on the first floor. The less advanced bay to the left of the centre has a corbelled-out feature above the ground, with bipartite windows and swept eaves. The outer bays on both sides have simple shaped gable dormer heads, and there is a bipartite window at ground level in the right outer bay. A recessed single-storey projection with a piend roof is located on the left.

The north elevation displays irregular bays, including two wide crowstepped sections, with a canted window in the projecting bay. The window details are similar to those on the south elevation. An additional canted porch extension from 1919 projects from the outer right bays at ground level.

The west elevation features the additions made in 1919 and 1950. The house has multi-pane sash and case windows, harled ashlar, and coped stacks, topped with a red plain tiled roof.

Inside, the property boasts a stone-flagged vestibule, oak floors, and panelling, along with marble chimneypieces.

The boundary wall to the east and south is harled and coped, featuring an arched gateway, with a coped rubble quadrant wall to the south.
