Description

Whitegate in Clarencefield is a late 18th or early 19th century row of buildings that includes a two-storey, three-bay house on the left (north), a single-storey public house, and a three-bay cottage on the right. All the structures are made of whitewashed rubble with contrasting painted margins. The house features a central gabled porch and upper windows that have plate glass sashes, while the other windows are four-pane. The upper windows were likely enlarged in the 19th century. The house has skews and a rear wing. The inn has three windows and a doorway that is raised, along with an additional blocked door and a blank long wall to the right, which may have been a former outbuilding. The cottage was renovated in 1983/84, during which a central porch was added. The buildings have end and axial stacks and are all roofed with graded slates. There is an outbuilding to the north, which has been altered and also constructed of whitewashed rubble, with a door and window facing south.
