Description
White Horse Farmhouse is a detached farmhouse built in the late 18th century, with 19th-century extensions added to the west. The building features squared rubble walls and a thatch roof with brick gable end stacks. It has two storeys and three windows on the original house, all of which are two-light wood casements with glazing bars, while the ground floor windows have concrete lintels. The front door is located at the center and includes a glazed inner door and a glazed porch, both from the 20th century. At the rear of the house, there is a thatch outshut under a catslide roof. The 19th-century extensions were built in two stages, constructed of rubble with brick quoins, and they share the same roof line as the original house. These extensions feature 20th-century metal windows. Inside, the farmhouse has open fireplaces with wood lintels in the original gable walls and ceiling beams.
