Wordsley Village in England
Wordsley is a village south of Kingswinford and north of Stourbridge in the West Midlands, England. It is part of the Metropolitan Borough of Dudley and falls into the Stourbridge postcode and address area, being just north of the River Stour. Wikipedia

Can't see a Summerhill House in Cot Lane, there is :

Summerhill Court - Col Lewis
Summerhill Lodge - Mr Richards
The Shrubbery, Summerhill - Holcroft
The Shrubbery Lodge, Summerhill - Carter

In addition, the street immediately before Cot Lane is Summerhill with 4 private properties, a gardener's lodge and a public house.

Too may options for the streets that the White House might have been on.
