Description
The White House is a two-storey house with an attic, featuring a main range with cross-gables at both the front and rear, creating a T-plan layout. There is a porch at the front angle, a lower two-storey wing set back to the right, and a single-storey rear wing with an attic located behind the rear cross-gable. The building is constructed of brick that has been painted white and has a slate roof with skylights at the back. It includes end brick stacks on the main range, the rear cross-gable, and to the right of the wing.
The windows are small-pane sash windows with margin glazing, most of which are positioned beneath wedge lintels. The front cross-gable features a tripartite window on the lower storey and a large 16-pane window on the upper storey, along with a smaller round-headed window in the gable. The porch on the left side has a four-panel door topped by a round-headed overlight, which is adorned with moulded imposts and a keystone. To the left and in the left side wall, there are tall windows that include casements. The porch is finished with a parapet of iron railings and has a balcony above, accessed by a French window from the main range. Additionally, the front cross-gable has a small round-headed window in its side wall.
On the left gable end of the main range, there is a small round-headed window in the gable and a small window to the left on the lower storey. The right wing features a door with full-height glazing on the lower storey and a sash window above it. Behind the right wing, there is a lean-to structure. The rear wing is fitted with wooden casement windows. The building was not inspected in November 1996.
