Description
Whitecliff Manor, originally known as Whitecliff Farm, has its origins in the 17th century. The building features walls and roofs made of Purbeck Stone, with ashlar stone stacks that have moulded string courses and caps. The main range includes a stone porch, likely added later, which has a round arched doorway. On the ground floor, there is one three-light stone mullioned window, two two-light stone mullioned windows, and one single-light window with an arched head. The first floor contains three two-light mullioned windows and one small window, which probably originally lit a stair or closet. All the mullioned windows have been renewed. A large buttress is located at the north-east end of the building.
At the rear, there is a two-storeyed wing that appears to be contemporary with the main range but was extended in the 18th century. This wing features modern wood casement windows, some of which have cast iron diagonal glazing. The wing continues to form a barn at a slightly lower level, all constructed from Purbeck Stone. At the west end of the main range, there is a two-storeyed section that is roofed at right angles to the main range, possibly the remaining part of an earlier house. The interior of the manor has been considerably modernised.
It is noted that apart from the attached barn, the farm buildings are either recent or have been significantly altered and are not listed.
