Description
Whashton Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 17th century and early to mid-19th century. It is constructed of rubble, partly roughcast, and features Welsh slate roofs. The building has two storeys and a total of five first-floor windows arranged in a 3:2 pattern.
The older range on the left side is roughcast and has three 20th-century casement windows on each floor. On the ground floor to the left, there is a blocked fire window, and in the center of the first floor, part of a mullion window is visible. The left side has ashlar coping and an external stack with offsets, as well as another stack on the ridge above the central bay.
To the right is a taller range, which features a 20th-century six-panel door with a fanlight that has radial glazing bars, set within an ashlar sandstone doorcase with pilasters and cavetto brackets supporting an open pediment. Above this door, there is a 20th-century casement window, and to the right on each floor, there is a painted blind matching window. The right side has ashlar coping, a hipped roof, and stacks on the left and ridge on the right.
At the rear of the older range, there is a blocked first-floor two-light mullion window. On the right return of the later range, there are two 16-pane sash windows on each floor.
