Farmhouse At Whygill Head (Known As High Whygill) And Adjacent Barn

The farmhouse at Whygill Head, also known as High Whygill, dates from 1774 and features later additions. It is constructed of coursed rubble and pebble-dash with a graduated slate roof and brick end chimneys, one of which is corbelled out. The building has a symmetrical two-storey, three-bay front. The central porch has a segmental canopy supported by pilasters, leading to a vertically-split panelled door. There is a single three-light stone mullioned window on either side of the porch. On the first floor, there are two two-light windows flanking a reset, dated rainwater head.

At the north end, there is a rear wing that includes a sink set into the wall next to a plank door, allowing for internal and external use. To the left of the plank door, there is a 20th-century casement window, while the first floor has a single two-light window and two sash windows. The wing ends in a small byre and hay loft made of coursed, squared rubble with quoins, topped with a graduated slate roof. The end wall features two 20th-century double doors with loft access above. Above the dovecote openings in the gable, there is a date panel inscribed with the year 1879.
