THE WHITE HOUSE
The White House is a family country house located 5 minutes from Stansted airport, but not on the flight path and also benefits from several market towns and villages nearby ie Thaxted, Saffron Walden and Cambridge. Also nearby is Audley End famous for its open air concerts. London is only 45 minutes on the Stansted Express railway line.
