Description
White House Farm House is a 17th-century house that was partially rebuilt in the 19th century, with repair work completed in 1986. It features a timber frame with whitewashed brick and rendered rubble stone panels, set on a rubble stone base. The gable walls are mostly rebuilt in brick. The roof is covered with plain tiles and has small rebuilt brick chimney shafts. The house has a T-plan layout, with a gabled cross wing projecting to the right. It is two storeys high with an attic, consisting of a single bay wing to the left and a two-bay cross wing to the right.
The front windows are of three lights, and the gabled right bay includes a single attic light and a flush-panelled top-lit door. The right side of the house has two-light casements in the far bay. At the far end of the right wing, there is an 18th to 19th-century extension with a rubble stone ground floor, brick above, and a slate roof. There is also a range of outbuildings beyond the house that were converted into a residence in the 1980s, but these are not of architectural special interest.
