Description
White Cross Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates from the late 18th century, with alterations and additions made in the early to mid-19th century. The building is constructed of squared rubble that has been painted white, topped with a pantiled roof featuring stone-flagged eaves and brick chimney stacks.
The farmhouse has wings added at right angles to the front and rear, creating a cross plan. The garden front is symmetrical and two-storey, consisting of three wide bays. It features a plinth, a ground-floor sill band, first-floor and eaves bands, and flush quoins. There is a replaced door located on the short right return of the projecting central bay. The windows are three-light, set in projecting flat-faced surrounds with chamfered stone mullions. The ground-floor windows have four-pane sashes with lowered sills, while the upper-floor windows are shorter and have two-pane sashes. The low-pitched hipped roof also extends over the central bay, with a central ridge stack that has a stone top band and similar lateral stacks on the rear walls of the wings.
At the rear, there is a far-projecting central bay, a single-storey outshut with a pent roof on the left, and a short range of sheds with boarded doors and a pent roof on the right.
