Description
Whitewell House is a hall-house that has been converted into a residential home. It dates back to the early 16th century and was clad in the 18th century, with alterations made around 1910, possibly by the architect Mervyn Macartney. The building features a timber frame, with exposed timber framing on the ground floor to the west and red and blue brick on the sides. The first floor is tile-hung. It has low pitched twin span roofs, with chimney stacks that have projecting breasts on both the left and right sides. There is a wing extending towards the rear on the left.
The house is two storeys high and has a regular two-bay front, with two projecting two-storey bays. The windows are glazing bar casements with lattice glazing in the top lights. The central entrance is recessed and features a boarded door with a flat hood supported by brackets above. A similar hood is found over a glazed door on the right return front. Inside, there is a substantial timber frame, and the roof has been rebuilt. The posts are heavy and jowled. A staircase from around 1710 has likely been brought in, and there is an inserted stack. The interior also includes various fireplaces designed in a Neo-Georgian style by Macartney.
