Description
Whitehouse Farmhouse is a house dating from the early 18th century, with extensions added in the 20th century. It is timber framed and has plastered walls with some exposed framing, topped with a roof made of handmade red plain tiles. The house has five bays facing east and features an external stack at each end. There is a small extension to the right and a rear extension that forms a catslide with the main roof, along with a further one-storey extension with attics added in the 20th century. The building is two storeys high and has a four-window range of 20th-century casements. The entrance is marked by an off-centre 20th-century door with a gabled canopy. The structure includes unjowled posts, a pegged main frame, and primary straight bracing. A gabled dormer is present in the catslide at the rear. The exterior plaster has been stripped in recent years, which previously covered the frame.
