Description: The White House is a very pretty Grade II listed detached Georgian cottage with external elevations of weatherboard beneath a slate tiled roof. The property benefits from some lovely features and from having been thoughtfully refurbished throughout by the current owners in recent years, including rewiring, replumbing, a new combination boiler, redecoration and new wooden floors and floor coverings throughout, overhauling the roof, new sash windows fitted with shutters, a new kitchen, bathroom and shower room, and refurbishment of the cellar to create two excellent storage rooms, which have good ceiling heights, are completely dry and are accessed by an electrically operated hatch from the dining room.
