II
Planned range of farm buildings, now workshops and storage. Mid C19 (surveyed in 1849 and in situ by 1860) by John Green, for the Duke of Northumberland. Coursed squared sandstone with ashlar quoins and dressings; Scottish slate roof. U-shaped range with centre back wing and extruded engine house. Two storeys, except for 1-storey stables forming part of right wing. Central barn range of 11 bays with 5 segmental-arched, rebated cart doors below, and stop-chamfered boarded openings above, including central loft door. Side wings are more irregular and have doors and other openings, mostly boarded, in stop-chamfered reveals. Openings on external faces similar except for 3 wide and 1 narrow modern windows inserted in outer face of left range. Fairly low-pitched roofs; all gable ends coped, with down-curved kneelers. Rear elevation shows pentice to left, projecting central wing and engine house to right. Behind this a tall square chimney of 2 stages with band, quoins, frieze, cornice and blocking course. Interior shows 2 massive stone arches between engine house and barn; plain roof trusses with principals set into masonry, raised ties and collar beams. Other fittings mostly removed. Various small extensions of a temporary nature into farmyard not of interest. One- storey detached left range of shelter sheds, now offices, is too much altered to be of special interest. There is no farmhouse. Whorlton Grange was formed by amalgamation and is included as an imposing example of a planned, mechanised farm.
