Description

The White House is a Modernist style house that is entirely rendered and painted white. It features a flat roof, which is believed to be covered in copper, with a narrow coping. The house includes a roof terrace, a terrace room with a chimney, and an additional external stack on the right side. The main frontage has an irregular plan with three bays, and there is a single bay wing that steps back to the right, which is attached to a further lower wing. The front porch and the stepped rear elevation add to the design. The main frontage showcases a three-window range of prominently horizontal casements with replaced glazing, long close-set hoods, and tiled sills. There is also a ground floor window set within the angle to the left, and a flat-roofed single-storey front porch with side lights.
