Whitehouse Farmhouse

Whitehouse Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the mid 17th century, with a mid 16th century wing at the rear. The front range was remodeled in 1894, as indicated by a date plaque in the gable. The building is two storeys high, with the front range featuring attics. It has a timber-framed structure, with the front range encased in gault brick from 1894, while the rear wing is plastered. The roofs are covered with plaintiles and have 19th century crested ridge tiles. A notable feature is the mid 17th century chimney made of red brick, which has burnt headers and panelled shafts. The windows are large-pane sashes from 1894. There is a gabled plaintiled entrance porch that includes a late 20th century panelled entrance door.

The rear range consists of two bays and has heavy unchamfered floor joists and a clasped purlin roof. An open truss in this section features a pair of cruck-like knees leading up to a collar-beam, likely from 17th century alterations. The front range has a roof primarily made of rafters from a large medieval hall, which are smoke-encrusted and bear assembly marks typical of the early 14th century.
