White House Farmhouse

White House Farmhouse is a farmhouse built in 1855 by S S Teulon for Crown Commissioners. It is constructed of red-brown brick in a Flemish bond pattern and has a Welsh slate roof. The main range is approximately L-shaped, comprising a two-room front, a central entrance hall facing the south garden, a double-depth wing to the rear right, and a west entrance in the angle of the building. It is two storeys high.

The south front has three first-floor windows and is asymmetrical. A chamfered plinth runs along the base. A segmental-headed half-glazed door, with rubbed-brick arch and flanking brick bay windows, is centrally located. The bay window to the left features a pair of 12-pane sashes under a hipped roof, while the bay window to the right has a single 12-pane sash. The first floor has a central 12-pane stair window flanked by smaller 12-pane sashes, that to the left being beneath raised eaves. All windows have projecting sills and segmental rubbed-brick arches; the windows to the right also have pointed relieving arches with flush panels infilling with herringbone brick. The gable above has stepped eaves, tumbled-in brick, and a central decorative flush brick round panel. An axial stack and a partly-projecting end stack are on the left, the end stack corbelled out at mid-ground floor level, featuring tumbled-in brick to the offsets, dentilled brick cornices, and low square pots.

The left return forms the west entrance front, with a projecting gabled section to the right and a two-bay section set back to the left where the entrance is located. Two steps lead to a segmental-headed half-glazed door with a pair of ornately-engraved panes above two fielded panels. A tripartite sash window is to the left, with glazing bars beneath a segmental arch. The first floor has a small, unequal segmental-headed 6-pane sash above the entrance, and a 12-pane sash to the left with a segmental arch and pointed relieving arch with herringbone brick infill, all beneath a gable with stepped eaves and tumbled-in brick. The gabled section to the right features a 12-pane sash beneath a segmental arch, and a recessed segmental-arched panel set into the lower section of the stack which contains a pointed lozenge-shaped relief tablet displaying a crown, royal cypher and date. It also has stepped eaves and tumbled-in brick. An axial stack is located to the left.

The interior features a closed string staircase with a moulded handrail, chamfered newel post, and Gothic-style splat balusters with pierced trefoils. There are panelled doors in architraves. It is one of a series of mid-19th century Crown estate buildings designed by Teulon and is the least altered of the surviving farmhouses.
