Description
Whitewheat Farmhouse is a farmhouse that has a core dating from the 15th century or early 16th century, with extensions added around 1600 and later. The building has one storey and attics, and is constructed of timber framing with plaster. It features a thatched roof with a central axial chimney made of red brick, while the later extensions have pantiled roofs. There is a thatched gabled casement dormer, and the windows are mainly 19th-century small-pane casements, with a small-pane sash window located in the parlour. The entrance door is a boarded door from the 19th century.
The central part of the house originally began as a modest two-bay open hall, which shows signs of being smoke-blackened and has an arch-braced open truss. Around 1600, an upper floor was added to the hall, created in two levels and possibly in two stages. A large chimney was also inserted into the upper bay, and a two-bay parlour cell was added at that end. At the lower end of the house, there is an additional extension from the 18th century, and close to the road, there is another extension from the 19th century that features a hipped roof.
