Whitehead'S Well

Whitehead's Well is a building that was formerly two houses but is now one house. It dates from the 17th century and has a late 17th century or early 18th century addition, with a late 20th century extension. The structure is made of random rubble limestone with ashlar dressings and quoins, topped with a stone-slate roof and ashlar chimneys that have moulded caps.

The original 17th century section consists of two rooms and two storeys, featuring a gable fireplace. The late 17th century or early 18th century addition was originally a single-storey building with an attic, also comprising two rooms. The late 20th century work includes a staircase hall and a single room addition, creating a T-plan layout.

The south gable end has a parapet and a cross-gablet saddle, with a single window arrangement below. This includes a three-light window on the ground floor, a two-light window above, and an oval attic window, all of which are recessed chamfered mullioned with hoodmoulds. There is a stone sundial set at an angle on the southeast corner, dated 1836. The west side features a single two-light window, while the east side has scattered fenestration, including two attic gables added to the right half in the late 20th century. This side also has a doorway with a timber lintel and a plank door, along with three-light windows on each floor, the ground floor window having a hoodmould that extends to the left. To the right of the doorway is a two-light chamfered mullioned window with a hoodmould, and a late 20th century three-light window with a hood beyond it. Each gable has a timber casement with a timber lintel. The north wing facing west has altered fenestration, and the late 20th century wing has scattered windows.

Inside, the original fireplaces from the 17th century are still retained in the older part of the house.
