Description
Whitefield Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse that was remodeled and extended in the early 19th century. It features whitewashed rendered rubble and slate roofs with gable ends. The building has a lateral brick stack at the rear of the lower end and a lateral hall stack enclosed in a rear kitchen extension. The layout consists of a three-cell through-passage plan with a dairy at the upper end and the lower end rebuilt and extended as a parlour. A right-angled kitchen extension of two storeys has been added to the rear, creating an overall T-shaped plan.
The farmhouse is two storeys high and has a four-window range, with two sashes at the lower end—one with horns and the other hornless. There is a plank door leading to the dairy and a 19th-century gabled porch with a decorative fanlight. The inner door is half-panelled with an overlight featuring marginal glazing bars. To the left, there is a three-light hall window with two panes per light, and to the right, a hornless sash window with eight over twelve panes. A similarly paned ground floor sash is located at the lower gable end. At the rear, there is a slated outshut in the angle of the T-shape.
Inside, the hall features two scroll-stopped beams, and much of the 19th-century joinery remains intact. There are blocked internal doorways leading to the dairy and six early 19th-century roof trusses.
