Description

Whitton Farmhouse is a farmhouse that has now been converted into part of a hotel. It dates from the mid-18th century and has an older core. The building is constructed of ashlar stone and has a Welsh slate roof. It is two storeys high and has three bays. The front features a 20th-century panelled door and four-pane sash windows set in raised stone surrounds. The roof is steeply pitched with flat coping and kneelers. There is a corniced stack on the left end, while the right gable has a partly external stack.

At the rear, the lower courses reveal older masonry. There is a pointed-arched stair window with a raised surround and intersecting glazing bars. Inside, there is a very large blocked fireplace with a Tudor-arched lintel.
