Constructed from attractive red and white brick beneath a slate roof, the property boasts a wealth of original period features, including sash windows, picture rails, deep skirting boards, and ornate coving. Typical of buildings of this age, the property comprises well-proportioned and light-filled rooms with wonderfully high ceilings.

There is a further double aspect sitting room benefiting from a large bay window, a hearth and French doors providing access the garden. Off the entrance hall there is also a study and a well-proportioned dining room opening through to the kitchen creating a wonderful open plan space. The kitchen/dining area provides access to the cellar and leads to a utility room with external access.
On the first floor, The White House features five well-proportioned, light-filled bedrooms and the family bathroom. The principal bedroom in particular is a charming room and benefits from a double aspect. The second floor has two bedrooms and storage, and has potential to be developed necessary to the planning consents.
