Description
35 Whitfield Cross is a farmhouse, now a house, built in 1773 with 19th and 20th century alterations. It features narrow coursed millstone grit with tooled ashlar dressings, a stone slate roof, and end stacks with watertabling. The building has a two-unit plan with an off-centre entrance, a principal room on the left, a parlour on the right, and services located at the rear in an outshut under a catslide roof.
The exterior is two storeys high, with an irregular two-window range. There is an off-centre doorway with a 20th century door set in a flush ashlar surround. To the left, there is a four-light casement window with a single surviving central mullion, and to the right, a three-light casement window, both featuring 20th century diamond leaded casements. Above these, there are two three-light windows with flush mullions and 19th century casements flanking a painted plaque inscribed with the year 1773. The left return shows the former roof line and has a timber lintel above a blocked doorway. The right return is rendered and has two first floor windows, one of which may be in its original opening, along with one ground floor window at the rear of the main house and a small service doorway at mid-floor level in the outshut.
The interior has not been inspected but is said to retain original beams, an inglenook fireplace, and a stone flagged floor in the principal room. The parlour features a spine beam and timber flooring, while the kitchen, workshop, and larder have stone flagged floors. The original roof structure is also preserved.
