Introduction
Whitelee Farm is a farmstead in the south-west area of the Peak District, near Wincle (in Cheshire). The farmhouse is a Grade II listed building, built in the 17th century and extended in the 19th century, with the farm yard located to its north-west. The current historic farm buildings are not complete, but appear to date from the early 19th century, representing a rebuilding of the farmstead in the industrial period. They form an open-sided yard facing south; the farm buildings that are the subject of this report comprise the north range of the group. Building 1 is a 3-bay open-fronted barn on the south side of the north range and Building 2 is a single-storey cow house attached to the north side of Building 1. Prior to alterations in 1987, the farm buildings consisted of ranges to the west, north and east; the west range was demolished inn 1987 and the south side of the north range was largely rebuilt to form the present single-storey barn, open to the south (Building 1).
