Whatley Farmhouse, Adjacent Forecourt Wall And Gate Piers

Whatley Farmhouse is a mid-17th century farmhouse built from Doulting rubble, featuring a stone tile roof at the front and clay tiles at the rear, with coped verges and rubble stacks. It is designed as a lobby entrance house, standing two storeys high with an attic and comprising three bays. The windows are three-light stone mullioned, with the left bay having ovolo moulding and the others featuring reserved chamfers. The ground floor of the left two bays has labels, while the right bay has a moulded cornice. There is a brick porch with a pyramidal tile roof and a 19th-century four-panelled inner door. The right return has a two-light stone mullion window and a single attic light. Inside, the farmhouse contains broad fireplaces with wooden lintels and timber-framed ceilings with chamfered joists. Adjacent to the farmhouse, there is a forecourt wall made of Doulting rubble, standing one metre high, and a pair of ashlar gate piers topped with square caps and ball finials, located 10 metres to the west.
