Barn, Cowhouse And Stable, Whitehall Farm

This is a barn, cowhouse, and stable complex, dating to the third quarter of the 19th century, built for the Price estate. The stable and pigsty are constructed of English bond brickwork, while the barn is largely weatherboarded with a red-brick plinth and blue brick capping, painted black, with white painted door frames, windows, louvres, and bargeboards. The roof is tiled.

The building is arranged in an L-shape, with a barn incorporating a porch on one side, a six-bay cowhouse at right angles, and a three-bay stable on the end, the latter being lofted. The facades face a courtyard. The stable includes a boarded stable door with a four-pane fanlight above a low, pointed blue brick arch with a stone keystone. Either side of the door is a window with a stone sill, featuring three glazed panes below and louvres above, all framed by an arch similar to the door's. A gabled brick dormer is positioned centrally above, with a two-light casement window and decorative fretwork bargeboards and a timber finial. Similar bargeboards adorn the gables. A door on the return side provides access to the first floor, likely originally a granary. An original brick causeway extends in front of the stable and around two sides of the yard.

The cowhouse is slightly set back and includes a short brick section with a boarded door on the left, the remainder weatherboarded. It features a single boarded door, a casement window, and a double boarded door. Two large, triangular louvred vents are located at the ridge, with plain bargeboards. The interior originally had an open front with timber posts carrying a wallplate. A brick-paved floor and a stone-edged drainage channel are present in one bay between the barn and porch. The rear wall was removed when the cowhouse was enlarged; notable features include king-post trusses with an iron bolt, a single pair of purlins, and a plank ridge.

The barn has double, boarded doors in two sections, leading to the porch, which has a boarded gable, decorative bargeboards, an iron finial, and a weathervane. A lean-to section with a catslide roof adjoins the barn, containing two looseboxes, each with a square window on the left with adjustable louvres and an original iron mechanism; a boarded door is on the right. The gable features decorative bargeboards, a timber finial, and a large, triangular vent with curved louvres. A lean-to pigsty is against the gable of the barn, incorporating a boarded door with an arch similar to that of the stable, and a wavy bargeboard above. Two low openings on the side have heads matching the door. The yard is enclosed by timber paling, a gate, and a stone trough. At the end is a gabled section with a door and bargeboards mirroring those of the pigsty, and three harness hooks inside.

Inside the barn, a five-bay space is characterized by long braces in the balloon wall framing and inserted lofts. The main posts lack jowls, with curved braces connecting the tie beams of queen post trusses. A king post truss is present in the porch. The listing describes the complex as a very complete and well-preserved farmstead, representing the best surviving example among those in Rudford, Tibberton, and Taynton that were altered or rebuilt by the Price estate.
