Description
Whinclose and the adjoining barn are a farmhouse and barn combination, dated and inscribed over the entrance with "J. & J.W., 1770." The building features incised painted stucco with painted V-jointed quoins on a painted plinth, and has a graduated greenslate roof. The barn is constructed of whitewashed cobbles, with an extension of painted render and a Welsh slate roof. The structure is two storeys high and consists of three bays. To the left, there is a single-bay barn under a common roof, and to the right, a lower single-bay extension. A 20th-century door is set in a painted architrave beneath a shell hood, which has a dated and inscribed finial. The building includes 2-pane sash windows in painted stone architraves, while the extension features smaller 2-pane sash windows in painted stone surrounds. The barn has plank doors on the ground floor and in the loft.
