Description

Whitehouse Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1748. It features stone rendering and is colourwashed, with Bridgwater patent clay interlocking tiles between coped gables and brick end chimney stacks. The building has an "L"-shaped plan, is two storeys high, and consists of five bays. The lower bays one and two have 16-pane sash windows, while bay three has a 20th-century rendered and tiled porch. Bays four and five contain two-light casements with small panes. Above all bays are small two-light windows with single horizontal glazing bars. Centrally set under the eaves is a rectangular stone with a hood and base mould, featuring a shouldered arched panel with a flower motif and the date 1748. There is a projection and outshut at the rear. Inside, there are several old doorways with boarded doors, as well as some six-panel doors. To the east is the former dairy, which is a single storey with a Welsh slate roof and a brick chimney stack.
