Description
Whiteman's Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the mid-17th century. It is constructed of coursed limestone and ironstone rubble, topped with a slate roof and featuring a central brick stack. The building has a two-unit lobby-entry plan and stands two storeys high with an attic, comprising three bays. The central doorway is topped with a wooden lintel and has a 20th-century door. To the left of the doorway, there is a flat stone hood supported by a stone bracket, and a projecting wall to the right. The window to the left features a 17th-century stone hood and a 19th-century three-light wood casement, while a similar window is found in the right bay. Between the right bay and the doorway, there is a small one-light stone-framed window. The central window on the first floor is similar to those below, and the windows on the left and right sides have square stone hoods fitted with 19th-century sashes. On the left side, there are stone mullioned windows with three and two lights on the first floor and in the attic. The right side has two openings with stone hoods but 20th-century windows. The gables are coped on kneelers. Inside, there is a newel stair built into the thickness of the wall to the right of the entrance, stop-chamfered joists in the ground floor rooms, an open fireplace, and a bread oven.
