Description
Whiteford is a former service range of a country house, now divided into cottages and currently functioning as a house. It dates from around 1775, with later additions and alterations. The building is constructed of roughly coursed slate-stone and is whitewashed on the domestic part. It features a hipped slate roof on the domestic section, while the attached outbuilding to the left has an asbestos sheet roof.
The building is two storeys high. The domestic part has four late 19th-century casement windows on the first floor and a horned 16-paned glazing bar sash window to the left of a 19th-century gabled brick porch. This porch has cusped bargeboards and leads to 20th-century glazed double doors located to the right of the centre. There is a brick ridge stack to the left at the junction with the outbuilding, which has two brick-infilled openings directly below the eaves and two windows with segmental brick heads on the ground floor. The right side of the outbuilding also incorporates a boarded door. A roughly central wide plank door also features a segmental brick head.
The roof slope of the domestic part includes four prominent 20th-century gabled dormers, and there is a catslide outshut at the rear. The interior could not be inspected during the last survey in November 1987. The original country house, for which this building served as the service range, was built for Sir John Call in 1775 and was demolished in 1912.
