Barn And Farmbuildings Range To North Of Whiteway Farmhouse

The barn and farm buildings range located to the north of Whiteway Farmhouse is primarily from the mid 19th century, although the barn may date back to the 18th century. Constructed from limestone rubble with some ashlar dressings, the buildings feature stone slate roofs. This long range of structures is connected by a boundary wall to the north-west corner of the farmhouse.

The barn has a hipped outer end that is continuous with a two-storey stable or carriage unit. Set back and with a lower roof-line is a cow shed and an open-fronted unit, which is now enclosed. Towards the farmhouse, the barn features a deep gabled porch with a stone-slated hood over a pair of early plank doors, flanked on either side by lean-tos with corrugated roofs.

Adjoining this section, but with a higher roof line, is a two-storey unit that has a large elliptical-arched opening leading to a throughway, along with a second blocked opening to its right that contains a later horizontal light. Above this opening are two 2-light wood casements with leading. The right gable has a stone-slated lean-to below the casement.

Set back from this is a low unit with three openings and a door, followed by a slightly higher unit with a full-height door adjoining a nine-bay open shed supported by square dressed stone piers. The openings of this shed are now filled with rubble walling to approximately 2 meters in height, and at the far right is a floored unit that appears older than the rest.

The far side of the barn features a hipped porch with plank doors that are now off their hinges, a square-headed throughway, and a long unit that is partly roofed in corrugated asbestos. At the far left, there is a full-height plank door and a smaller door. The barn consists of four and a half bays, with two butt purlins, a tie, and a cambered collar, all pegged. The two-storey section has King post roofs. This group of buildings is well-preserved, mainly using original materials and slate, and forms a long L-plan attached to the main farmhouse.
