Whitehouse Farm is a farmstead visible on the 1st Ed OS map and thje Benhall Tithe map. The farmstead is laid out in a regular F-plan with additional detached elements. The farmhouse is listed and dates to the late 16th or early 17th century. The farmhouse is detached and set away from the yard. The farmstead sits alongside a public road in a village location. The farmstead has survived intact with one of the F-plan yards now covered.

Recorded as part of the Farmsteads in the Suffolk Countryside Project. This is a purely desk-based study and no site visits were undertaken. These records are not intended to be a definitive assessment of these buildings. Dating reflects their presence at a point in time on historic maps and there is potential for earlier origins to buildings and farmsteads. This project highlights a potential need for a more in depth field study of farmstead to gather more specific age data.
