Whitehouse Farmhouse

Whitehouse Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 16th and early 17th centuries, built in two main phases with later alterations. It is timber framed, mostly covered in common brick from 1919, with 19th century red brick at the rear. The building has a pantiled roof and consists of two storeys and an attic. The main range has two cells and features a projecting parlour cross-wing on the left. There are 19th and mid-20th century casement windows with segmental lintels. The entrance is a lobby entry with a lean-to porch that continues from the main roof slope, featuring a half-glazed door. Inside, there is a heavy internal stack positioned between the hall and parlour, with some 16th century framing exposed. The parlour wing, likely added in the early 17th century, has cross-beamed ceilings in both main rooms and a well-preserved roof structure with clasped and butt purlins and arched wind-bracing. There are newel stairs, and the service end appears to have been rebuilt or added later.
