Description
Whitehouse Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early 17th century, with a 19th-century rear wing. It is timber framed and plastered, featuring remnants of ropework pargetting on the facade, and has colourwashed brick on the right-hand gable end. The roof is pantiled, and the building has two storeys plus an attic, arranged in a three-cell form. The windows are small-paned casements, mostly from the mid-20th century. There is a lobby entrance with an early 19th-century colourwashed brick porch, which includes a six-panel door and a pointed-arch fanlight with Y tracery. Inside, there is a heavy internal stack and a smaller internal stack to the left. The interior displays some exposed framing and joists, with the two main rooms on both floors featuring ovolo-moulded floor beams that have additional moulding on the soffits. A newel staircase leads to the first floor.
