Description

Whetham Farmhouse is a detached farmhouse dating from the late 17th century. It features dressed stone walls and a Roman tile roof with gable ends. There is a brick stack located just left of the center. The building has a lobby entrance plan and stands two storeys tall. It has two windows with three-light stone mullions that have hollow-chamfers and separate labels above them. The left-hand ground window has been renewed in the 20th century. A central porch made of stone, also from the 20th century, leads to a plank and studded door on the right side. At the rear, there is a continuous outshut.
