Description
White Barn Farm, dating to circa 1806 and altered in the 19th century, was designed by Samuel Wyatt for Viscount Anson and comprises three ranges arranged around a courtyard. The farm buildings are constructed of brick with plain tile and slate hipped roofs.
The southern range is a two-storey threshing barn. It features a large, segment-headed doorway with a plank door centrally placed, to its right an inserted metal frame window with a concrete lintel, an inserted doorway, and another similar window. To the left are two inserted metal frame windows and an inserted plank door. Above, two loft doorways have brick pediments and plank doors. Between them is a large brick pediment, flanked by two rows of breathers.
The west range includes a row of single-storey stables, and to the north, a two-storey cottage. This cottage has an off-centre doorway flanked by single glazing bar sashes, with two smaller sashes above, all under ashlar lintels, and a brick dentilated eaves.
The north front is partially obscured by a later ground floor extension. Above is a blocked Diocletian window with an ashlar pediment above it. To the west is a further two-storey extension.
The east range incorporates a high wall connecting the barn to a two-storey cottage. This cottage displays a single bay north front with a three-light glazing bar casement under a segment head. Above this is a Diocletian window with a broad stone cill band, and above that an ashlar pediment. The eastern front features a central doorway with a plank door and a gabled hood. Flanking this are three-light casements, the one to the right having a segment head. Above is an ashlar band and two further three-light casements. To the left is a single bay, two-storey extension.
