A former US President once lived in this four-bed Surrey house known as 'The White House' - and it's now for sale for £2.35m

A four-bedroom house in affluent Surrey that was once home to a US President could be yours for £2.35million.

The Hoovers' lived at the property in 1902, more than a quarter of a century before Herbert Hoover became the 31st President of the United States of America in 1929.

He explained in his memoir written in 1952 that his 'wife searched out a small country house at Walton-on-Thames'.

He may well have had political aspirations at the time of finding the property, adding that it was 'curiously known as The White House'.

He stayed for only a short time in 1902 at the Walton-on-Thames property, although his wife reportedly stayed a little longer - although she eventually headed into central London.
