Description

Whitemoor Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates back to the early 17th century, with later alterations. It is constructed of random rubble greensand and features a gable end slate roof. The original layout was a three-room house with a through passage, where the service end is located to the right of the passage. This service end has been largely rebuilt and now consists of two rooms, with the dividing wall likely being the original end wall. During this rebuilding, the axial stack that heats the hall was widened to include an additional fireplace with a bake oven, which is indicated by a vertical masonry joint visible on the rear wall. This modification transformed the front doorway into a baffle entry. Additionally, the inner room was reduced in size, possibly in the 1930s when the current occupant believes the end wall collapsed; it now measures only 6 feet wide. The farmhouse has two storeys.

The front exterior features an irregular two-window arrangement. On the first floor, to the left, there is a long and narrow four-light window with a 19th-century casement, possibly set in an older embrasure. To the right is a three-light casement window with ten leaded panes in the outer lights. On the ground floor, there is a four-light casement window in the hall and two three-light windows in the service end, one of which is in an early 19th-century frame. A stone outshut is present at the rear.

Inside, both fireplaces are blocked, but the chamfered lintel of the hall fireplace is still visible. The hall features two ceiling cross beams that are chamfered with elongated pyramid stops. Between the hall and the inner room, there is a plank and muntin screen that is chamfered and stopped on both sides, mitred only on the hall side. At the rear of the hall, there is a double door with large fielded panels, topped by a timber or plaster angel face in half relief, which appears to be from the late 17th century.
