Description
White House Farmhouse is a farmhouse built in 1827, with a rear section that has an older core but has been significantly altered in the 19th and 20th centuries. The facade is made of pale yellow brick, while the rest of the house features mid-20th century textured render. The front range has a hipped slated roof, and the rear has modern concrete pantiles. The building is two storeys high with an attic at the back. The symmetrical three-bay facade includes flanking pilaster strips and inset sash windows with glazing bars set under flat brick arches. The original doorcase features engaged Doric columns, an entablature, and a modillion cornice, with an inset six-panel door and a semi-circular fanlight with glazing bars and panelled reveals. There is a wooden eaves cornice with paired modillions. Attached to the earlier range is a 1977 addition, which displays two datestones originally from the rear gable end: one inscribed '1577 TEB' and the other 'Rebuilt 1827 W+L', indicating William Lark, the owner.
