Description

Whitevine Farmhouse is a farmhouse that dates from the 17th century, with modifications made in the 18th and 19th centuries. It is constructed from local stone rubble, mostly covered in lime render. The earlier parts of the building have thatched roofs with coped end gables, while the later sections are covered with Welsh slate between coped gables. The farmhouse features Ham stone and brick chimney stacks.

The building has a "U"-shaped plan, with a central west wing that is likely from the 17th century and has been modified. The rear north wing may also date from the 17th or 18th century, while the front south wing is from the 19th century, possibly built in 1874. There is a narrow hollow space between the north and south wings that is roofed over.

The south front of the farmhouse has two storeys and two bays, with mullioned architraved surrounds that contain three-light metal windows. There is a projecting stone porch with a gable and a ball on a block finial, which may have been reformed at the same time as the garden wall, dated 1874. The west elevation features a projecting stair turret with an oval window under a hood at the mezzanine level, and it may have originally extended further south. The north elevation has three bays, with a gable above the third bay. The first two bays have steel and casement windows, while the third bay features hollow chamfered mullioned windows with leaded lights, along with a small attic timber window above.

Inside the farmhouse, there are several 17th and 18th-century doors, and a simple dogleg stair that dates from around 1800.
