Description

The former farmhouse at White House Farm dates to the 18th century. It is constructed with rendered front and side elevations, a rear elevation of rubble stone, and a slate roof with a tile ridge. The projecting end stacks have rendered bases, tiled offsets at the verge, brick flues with three oversailing courses at the cap.

The symmetrical two-storey front has a central entrance. Windows are predominantly 2-light designs. On the left of the mullions are opening casements with iron frames; to the right are fixed windows with horizontal zinc glazing bars. The first floor has three windows, the central one a fixed 3+3 pane window flanked by 2-light mullions, each with a 2-pane casement and a 3-pane fixed window. The ground floor windows are taller and follow the same design, with 2-pane casements and 4-pane fixed windows. A gabled slate roofed porch with timber posts (one missing) supports a boarded door at the centre of the front.

The rear roof sweeps lower to form an outshut. The eaves display a 2+2 pane casement window from the 19th century and an 18th century 2-light casement with small rectangular leaded panes. The ground floor has a 1+1 pane casement, followed by a 20th-century single-storey brick porch with a monopitch asbestos roof and metal windows, and then a 2+2 casement window.

A single-storey gabled stone outbuilding is attached to the northeast gable of the house. The front of the outbuilding is an open-fronted pigsty with a cobbled floor and a central stone partition, whilst the rear is a brewhouse containing a boarded half door and a 2-light window with two fixed panes and a metal ventilation grille.

The internal stair lobby leads to a straight staircase which separates a former kitchen with a quarry tile floor from a small parlour. Windows throughout the house feature chamfered centre mullions, turnbuckle catches, and looped handles. A rear dairy has stone slabs supported on brick piers. In the back kitchen, a bread oven has a small boarded door. First floor bedrooms have boarded doors and similar turnbuckle catches and looped handles. The roof space is not accessible. Stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops are also present.
