Description

White Jones Farmhouse is a farmhouse with an attached barn, dated 1822 on the quoin, although it may be older. Currently uninhabited, it is used as a store. The building is constructed of watershot coursed sandstone rubble with quoins and features a stone slate roof with a single chimney on the ridge. It has a laithe-house plan with three bays, positioned back from the lane. The third bay contains a double-depth single-bay dwelling house, with a set-back extension to the right.

The farmhouse is two storeys high, with a plain doorway located at the junction of the second and third bays, which has a slab canopy above it. Each floor includes one stepped triple-light window with glazing bars. There is a quoin at the first-floor level inscribed with "H. H & S. 1822." The extension to the right has a plain doorway and a chimney stack at the right corner. Its right return wall features an altered vertical three-stage opening, mostly blocked at the lower parts but containing flush mullions, with the top now a two-light window with a rendered brick mullion.

To the left, the barn continues with a sliding door that also has a slab canopy above it, and there is a later full-height lean-to made of random rubble at the left end. The rear of the building has a ground floor lean-to, possibly a dairy, built into the slope, with two windows at the first floor. The barn has altered openings.
