Description
White Spring Head Farmhouse is a house dating from the late 18th century. It is constructed from hammer-dressed stone, with watershot stone only in bay 2, and features a graduated stone slate roof. The building has a two-bay, single-depth plan and stands two storeys high, with a small barn to the left and a 20th-century garage to the right. The central door is obscured by a 20th-century porch. There are four and three-light windows on the ground floor and two five-light windows on the first floor, all with recessed flat-faced stone mullions. Bay 1 slightly predates bay 2. Additionally, there are two-light windows in the gable and gable chimney stacks.
