Description
Whitnorth is a house dating from the early 17th century, which was refronted in the late 18th century and extended at the rear. The rear of the building is timber framed and exposed, featuring brick and rendered infill, with red and blue brick return fronts and roughcast cladding on the street front. The roofs are hipped and half hipped, covered with slate, with a lower pitch over the extensions. The main house is rectangular, with a wing on the right that runs parallel to the street and extensions at the rear. It stands two storeys high, with stacks located to the left.
The street front has a regular appearance, featuring tripartite glazing bar sash windows. The central first-floor bay projects on two octagonal wooden columns, with one 12-pane sash window on each face of the angle bay. To the left on the ground floor is a tripartite glazing bar sash window, while the right side has a half-blocked single light casement window. There are two gabled casement dormers on the roof and a central half-glazed panelled door.
On the left-hand return front, which serves as the entrance front, there is a tall first floor with deep eaves. An attic to the right is topped with a gabled casement dormer featuring diamond pane glazing. The first floor has two large 12-pane glazing bar sash windows framed with architraves. The ground floor has a three-light "cross" window to the left and a larger window to the right. The central entrance features a half-glazed door with intersecting ogee-head tracery at the top and panelled below. A single-storey, hip-roofed projection with one window is located to the front left, and the rear has irregular leaded casement glazing.
Inside, some panelling remains, along with a simple late 18th-century staircase.
