Description

White House Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century, with an addition dated 1834. The building is timber framed, featuring colourwashed render and whitewashed Flemish bond brick, topped with a slate roof. It stands two storeys tall with a double-ridge plan.

The entrance front showcases the 1834 section, which projects with three symmetrically arranged bays. At the center, there is a classical door surround with framed convex panels on either side and brackets supporting a shelf-porch. The door consists of six raised and fielded panels, topped by a rectangular fanlight with intersecting tracery. Flanking the door on the ground floor are sash windows with four panes by four panes, featuring flat-arched heads and slightly projecting brick bays. On the first floor, there are two lateral windows, also with four panes by four panes, adorned with panelled lintels, and a central bullseye window dating from the 20th century. Above the door is a rectangular datestone inscribed with "W.C 1834." The early 19th-century portion has a hipped roof, while the 17th-century section has a gabled roof.

To the left of the entrance, there is one bay of the 17th-century range, which includes a ground floor sash window with three panes by four panes and a two-light window on the first floor. The left side of the building features, on the early 19th-century portion, a two-light casement window with a flat head, which is a 20th-century metal-framed insertion. To the left is the end of the 17th-century wing, which has a three-light 20th-century French window on the ground floor. The right end has a 20th-century brick outshut extending along the entire ground floor. The 17th-century range on the right has a central brick chimney stack and two single-light windows to the left of it.

At the rear, the glazing is entirely from the 19th and 20th centuries, with a doorway located left of center. There are two two-light windows to the left of the doorway and a single-light and three-light casement window to the right. On the first floor, there are three two-light windows, with a four-light casement window positioned left of center. An axial ridge stack made of 19th-century brick with two flues is located on the right.

Inside, the ground floor rooms feature chamfered ceiling beams.
