History

The area was developed as a council housing in the 1950s and 60s. It has been extended by private housing development since the 1980s and now has a mix of housing.

The White House itself, next to White House Park, was a substantial country house on the edge of the village – until it became absorbed into Ipswich as the town grew during the first half of the 20th century. It can be accessed from Limerick Close. It is listed Grade II which still stands on the edge of the White House estate. It also boasts a gate lodge on Norwich Road. Built as small country house in the late 17th century and altered early 19th century with late 19th-century additions. It retains its complete 17th century roof structure. It was used for many years as local government offices.

Lovetofts Drive: running north from the end of Bramford Lane to Whitehouse Road is named after John de Lovetoft who had a grant of free warren there in 1277 and died in 1295. There was a manor house known as Lovetofts Hall and a nearby farmhouse which was still shown on the 1955 Ordnance Survey map, but had disappeared by the 1959 map.
