Description
White House Farm is a building that dates from the 16th or 17th century, as suggested by the appearance of the brickwork on the north front and the moulded beams found inside. The south front likely dates from around 1800. The structure has two storeys and an attic in the gable on the north front, featuring three sash windows on the upper floor, which include glazing bars. There is a bay on the east front with quadrant brick sides. Inside, there is an early 19th-century semi-circular staircase with a swept handrail.
