Description

The Farm Range at White House Farm is a 19th-century agricultural building constructed from rubble stone with stone dressings and a gently-pitched slate roof. The large corn barn on the right features a central threshing floor and has boarded double-doors, along with half doors to the right. The left wall includes two tiers of ventilation slits, with two slits on each level. The right wall has two ground-floor doorways, each framed by segmental arches made of stone voussoirs. The cowshed door on the left is boarded, while the stable doorway on the right has boarded half doors; above these is a square boarded door leading to the pitching loft. The right gable of the barn also has a similar pitching loft doorway.

Attached to the left gable is a lofted cider house, which has a slightly lower roof line. A straight stone stair with a wooden handrail leads to the upper doorway, which has a boarded door. To the left of this doorway is an unglazed two-light window with a central wooden mullion and boarded inner shutters. The ground floor features a broad cart entry with a segmental arch of stone voussoirs and boarded double-doors. Attached to the lower gable of the cider house is a small two-bay shelter shed with a pantile-type tile roof.

The barn consists of six bays and has a stone flagged threshing floor. It is supported by 19th-century king post roof trusses with angle struts and two tiers of trenched purlins. The cider house retains a 19th-century cider press, which includes a heavy iron screw and a stone trough. The loft above the cider house has three bays and features 19th-century king post trusses with raking queen struts, along with two tiers of purlins.
