Description
White Horse Farm is a house, likely built in the mid-18th century, with later modifications. It is constructed from rendered and colorwashed brick, featuring brick stacks and a pantile roof. The design includes a central entrance plan and is two storeys high with three bays. There is a 20-pane sash window in flush wood architraves on the outer bays, and a smaller blocked opening with an elliptical arch above the door, which is accessed through a 20th-century door beneath a wooden porch. The building has a dentilled eaves band and a swept roof, with 19th-century end stacks. There is also a pitching door located on the right gable.
