Description
The Whitehouse is a farmhouse dating from the mid-17th century, with extensions added from the late 17th century to early 18th century, and some repairs made in the mid-20th century. It features a timber frame with rendered infill and a tiled roof. The building consists of four framed bays arranged in a north/south direction; the north bay is lower but contemporary with the two central bays, while the south bay was added later. The main stack at the south end of the original structure has a brick shaft.
The west front is two storeys high, except for the left side which is one storey. It includes a 2-light casement window to the left and a 3-light casement window to the right of centre. The ground floor has three windows, with two 3-light casements flanking a 2-light casement. The entrance on the right features a 19th-century slated and gabled canopy, leading to a 20th-century door that opens into a lobby adjacent to the stack. The framing consists of four square panels high with straight angle braces.
