White Oaks (aka Rosminian Convent)

White Oaks, also known as Rosminian Convent, is a house built in the late Arts and Crafts style with some Art Deco features. The exterior is rendered, with the render shaped to create shallow pilasters and platbands. The roof is covered with small slates and features stepped tile kneelers, along with overhanging eaves that have boarded or rendered soffits. There are two tall, narrow rendered ridge stacks with shaped lead flashings.

The windows are all metal-framed casements with leaded quarries. The entrance front is symmetrical with three bays, where the central entrance bay, which has a hipped roof, projects forward. It features a single window on the first floor and sidelights, while the ground floor has a 1930s-style doorway made of moulded ashlar with a large decorative keystone. To the right, the roof, which includes small single-pitch roofed attic lights, slopes down low over two ground floor casements. To the left, it extends over garage double doors and an adjacent casement.

The main garden elevation has a central range of five 6/6 pane casement windows under the eaves, with 10/10 pane casements on the ground floor and a central double French door. The roof also slopes down low to each wider end bay, covering a window on the left and a garden alcove on the right.

The building has been converted for use as a convent. While there are no notable interior fittings, it is said that Austrian oak was used, and all 25 internal oak doors, each comprising a single panel in a raised surround, are retained, although the fireplaces have been replaced.
