Description

White Farm is a likely 18th-century building situated at right angles to the road. It stands two stories tall and is constructed of painted rubble, possibly with some brickwork. The east front features three regularly spaced sash windows with glazing bars. There is a central doorway that is set within a glazed wooden porch, which has a rectangular opening, vertical panels, and a concave roof, likely dating from the early 19th century. The roof appears to have been renewed during the Victorian period and has an overhanging slope covered with slates.

At the rear, there are extensions, including a gabled wing at the north end that matches the original construction and may be contemporary with the front. This wing has two evenly spaced sash windows with glazing bars, although the bottom right-hand window has been replaced with a modern door. A small sash window with glazing bars is located in the gable. The south end of the rear features a span that runs parallel to the main range, which is probably a later addition and is pebble dashed.
