Description
Whitefield Farmhouse is a mid-16th century farmhouse, altered in the 17th and 20th centuries, and now used as a house. Parts of the building are timber frame with painted brick infill, while other sections are encased in painted brick. The roof is gabled and covered in old tiles. The farmhouse originally had four framed bays, and has a gabled stair turret and a gabled extension to the north, and a lean-to extension to the west. It is two storeys in height. There are four chimneys with offset heads and clay pots.
The south front, which serves as the entrance front, has a brick string course at first floor level, and is divided into four bays. It features 20th-century lead casement windows. The first floor has three three-light windows and one two-light window, all with false side shutters. The ground floor has two two-light windows and one three-light window. A 20th-century entrance door is positioned between the third and fourth bays, sheltered by a small hipped roof. An additional 20th-century three-light oriel window, also with a hipped roof supported on plain brackets, is located in the fourth bay.
The north front is irregular, showcasing much of the original timber frame. The interior retains many exposed beams and joists with chamfers and run-out stops.
