Whiteabury Farmhouse

Whiteabury Farmhouse is a house that was formerly a farmhouse, dating from the late 18th century to early 19th century, with possibly an earlier core. It underwent thorough renovation in the mid-20th century. The building is constructed of plastered granite stone rubble, featuring granite stacks with plastered brick chimney shafts, and has a thatched roof, with a slate roof over the dairy.

The house has a three-room-and-through-passage plan and faces east. At the southern end, there is a large parlour with a rear lateral stack, which slightly projects forward. The through passage alongside contains the staircase. To the right are two rooms with an axial stack between them, serving back-to-back fireplaces. The left end room was formerly the kitchen and had a service winder stair alongside it. At the rear of the left end is a possibly secondary dairy, which now serves as the kitchen and larder. The building is two storeys high.

The exterior features a regular front with three windows, mostly original 16-pane sashes, and one replacement 20-pane horned sash. The front door is located to the left of the main section and consists of a late 18th century to early 19th century six-fielded panel door, sheltered by a mid-20th century gabled porch with a thatched roof supported by rustic posts. The roof is gable-ended to the right and hipped to the left. The left end has a 16-pane sash on each floor, while the dairy has mid-20th century horned sashes.

Inside, there are some original joinery details, but much of it was replaced in the mid-20th century. The chimneypieces, staircase, and roof structure are all from the mid-20th century.
