Whitehouse Farmhouse

Whitehouse Farmhouse is a 17th and 18th century house, possibly with an earlier core. The ground floor is built of whitewashed brick, while the first floor is rendered and whitewashed; red brick projections are visible to the west. It has steeply pitched pantiled roofs, with darker pantiles on the west side of the main roof. The house is two storeys and has attics, arranged in an L-shaped plan. The east-facing facade has irregular window openings, with casements featuring transoms and glazing bars, and two ground floor sash windows with glazing bars. A pantiled porch is situated in the south-east angle of the L-shaped block and has a cross casement window above with leaded glazing. An axial chimney stack is located off-centre within the north-south range. The eaves are coved. The south gable return is of red brick, parapeted with brick detailing, moulded eaves corbels, and an internal chimney stack. A large external brick chimney stack with weathered offsets is at the north-east corner, and the north gable has two 20th-century windows with Gothic heads, one first-floor sash with glazing bars, and a 2-light attic casement. A lower, 1½-storey range extends to the west, featuring a pedimented Dutch gable; this range has two ground-floor sashes lacking glazing bars, and a 2-light attic casement with glazing bars. 20th-century lean-to additions are not of particular interest.
