Description
Whitehall Manor is a detached house from the 17th century, possibly remodeled from an earlier structure. It is built of rubble chert and features a thatched gable end roof with stone coping on the gables. The layout consists of a 4-room through-passage plan, which may be a 17th-century adaptation of a 3-room plan, with the service end located to the right of the passage and a higher front wing at the end. There is an axial stack, which may have been inserted, backing onto the passage, a service-end fireplace, and an end stack in the wing. The house has two storeys.
On the front exterior, there is a three-window range, all featuring late 20th-century 2-light casement windows, and a Victorian panelled door leading to the passage. The wing has a 20th-century window, except for one fixed 2-light window on the outer face. The rear has three 3-light casement windows and one 4-light window on the first floor, each with six leaded panes per light. The ground floor has 20th-century windows and a lean-to.
The interior is not accessible, but a report by Commander Williams from August 1982 noted a framed ceiling with intersecting beams forming four panels in the wing, along with a well-coursed hall stack. All roof timbers are clean and feature cambered collar trusses.
