Whiteshill Farmhouse

Whiteshill Farmhouse is a house that dates back to the early 17th century, with extensions added in the 18th and 19th centuries. It is timber framed, plastered, and has a roof made of handmade red plain tiles. The house has three bays facing north, with a central stack that creates a lobby-entrance plan, and a service wing located at the rear of the stack. An 18th-century extension forms a short range parallel to the main structure, while there are also single-storey extensions from the 19th and 20th centuries at the back.

The farmhouse is two storeys tall. On the ground floor, there are two early 19th-century sash windows with 16 lights. The first floor features two early 19th-century sash windows with 4 + 8 lights, some of which contain crown glass. At the front, there is a six-panel door beneath a large gabled porch supported by six octagonal shafts.

Inside, the right ground-floor room has a large wood-burning hearth, a chamfered axial beam with lamb's tongue stops, and plain joists with a vertical section. The left ground-floor room also has a large hearth with splayed sides and a depressed arch, along with a similar beam, and the joists are plastered to the soffits. Behind this hearth is a nearly complete bread oven that originally opened into the rear wing, though the entrance has been blocked.

On the first floor, there are three original internal doors, including one leading to the attic stair made of three planks with closely spaced D-section grooves, while the others have moulded portcullis frames, with one door reduced in width. The attic floor and the stair leading to it are original as well. The structure features jowled posts and straight corner braces that are trenched inside the studding. The main range retains its original butt-purlin roof, while the rear wing has an original clasped purlin roof.
