Description

Whitewater Farmhouse with attached farm buildings is a farmhouse dating from the early to mid-19th century, with some later alterations. It is constructed from slatestone rubble, with the upper level of the house rendered. The roof is made of slate, featuring ridge tiles and gable ends, and there are gable end stacks with brick shafts. The attached farm buildings are also built from slatestone rubble and have corrugated iron roofs with gable ends.

The farmhouse has a double depth plan, with a larger room on the front left and a smaller room on the front right, both heated by gable end stacks. There are shallower service rooms at the rear. The attached farm buildings form three parallel ranges with three gable ends facing the front, each of different widths, and are designed in a Gothic style.

The exterior of the farmhouse is two stories tall and features a nearly symmetrical three-window front. The first floor has three 16-pane sash windows with cambered arches. The ground floor has 16-pane sash windows on the right and left, with a central 20th-century glazed door. The left side has three gable ends, with the central one being the narrowest. The right gable end features a triple window with triangular heads and lattice glazing, along with a central triangular-headed light and triangular-headed louvres on each side. The central gable has a blind pointed arched window with four panes at the top. The left end gable has a pointed arched window at the apex and another pointed arched window below. The rear of the house has 16-pane sash windows on the right and left at the first floor. The interior has not been inspected.
