Description
Whitegate Cottage is a house dating from the late 17th century. It features a timber frame with brick infill and whitewashed brick walling, topped with a thatched roof. The building is two storeys tall and has a baffle-entry plan.
On the street front, there are two doorways: one at the extreme left and another to the left of centre. Between these doorways is a three-light casement window with a cambered head and shutters. To the right, there is a four-light casement window with shutters, and a similar three-light window is located at the far right. A two-light gabled dormer window is positioned to the first floor at the right of centre. The roof features two flue stacks at the centre of the ridge.
The left-hand return displays six by two cells of small framing with angle braces leading to the gable and collar. There is a 19th-century outshut at the rear. The right-hand reveal includes a tie beam, while a 20th-century porch is present on the ground floor along with a two-light casement window on the first floor.
