Description

Whitton Court is a two-storey building with a west cross wing that includes a cellar and a one-and-a-half storey kitchen extension to the north. The structure is primarily built of coursed rubble with brick quoins, featuring sections that are part rendered and part rebuilt using different stonework and brick. Massive stone buttresses support the east gable end. The west wing is half-timbered, showcasing close studding, with some panels infilled with brick and diagonal bracing at the north gable apex. The roofs are covered with slate, and the main block has two brick ridge stacks, while the kitchen wing has a brick end stack. A tall squared rendered stone stack projects from the west wing, which has been heightened with brick and timber.

The south front features modern picture windows with brick cambered heads, a masonry blocked window on the north gable of the 17th-century wing, and a brick blocked cross window on the west wall.

There are single-storey rubble stone outbuildings with a slate roof that form a courtyard with the kitchen wing, likely serving as a wash house, privy, fuel store, and similar functions. The garage, which was previously a stable, is constructed of rubble stone and has a slate roof.

Inside the west wing, there are two ovolo-moulded beams.
