Description

Whittle Farmhouse is a house built around 1800, with a later 19th-century rear wing. It features squared tooled stone with cut dressings and has a Welsh slate roof. The building is two storeys high and has three symmetrical bays. There is a central doorway that is set behind a 20th-century glazed porch. The ground-floor windows have been renewed but remain in their original openings; there are two 4-pane sash windows and a 4-pane casement window above. The left gable is coped and has a moulded kneeler, along with a stepped-and-banded end stack. On the right side of the building, there are two first-floor windows, one of which has a 20th-century casement and the other is blocked. Above these windows, a moulded string runs at eaves level, and the wall is raised as an eyecatcher, featuring two blind Gothick 2-light transomed windows and a second moulded string below the castellated parapet. The adjacent outbuildings to the north and west are not of special interest.
