Description
White Cross Farmhouse is a farmhouse that dates from the 17th century or early 18th century, with an addition made in 1763 and further alterations in the 18th, 19th centuries, and more recently. The building is constructed of hammer-dressed stone and features quoins, with a stone slate roof. The gable copings are chamfered on moulded kneelers.
The farmhouse is two storeys high and has a rectangular plan with a central gable at both the front and rear, along with a set-back addition from 1763 to the left. The main front has been significantly altered, featuring 19th-century and recent openings, as well as an added porch. There is a tablet that reads "WW 1758." The 1763 addition to the left consists of three bays and includes a doorway on the right with a rectangular fanlight and a panelled door. The windows are sash windows, with the upper floor windows being smaller and square. Both the windows and the door have raised surrounds, and there is another tablet that reads "WW 1763." The right gable and part of the rear have been rebuilt in brick. The rear features various altered two-light double chamfered windows, three of which have drip moulds.
The initials "W.W." refer to William Wheatley, who died in 1766.
