The White House, Conduit Head Road is a Modernist house in west Cambridge, in Cambridgeshire, England, at the junction with Madingley Road. The first Modernist-style house in Cambridge and one of the earliest in Britain, it dates from 1930–31, and was designed by the New Zealand-born architect George Checkley for his own use. The house, a flat-roofed, white-rendered Cubist construction drawing direct inspiration from Le Corbusier's work in France, is an example of the International Style. It is listed at grade II.
