White Cottage

White Cottage is a house with origins dating back to the 17th century or earlier, which has been encased in brick and features a roof tiled in the 19th century. There is a later outshut to the right. The building is timber framed, with rough-rendered brick on the front and a clay tile roof. It has a three-room plan that originally included a baffle-entry to the right of the center, but the entrance is now located at the rear. The house is a single storey with an attic and has four windows: three are 4-pane sashes set in flush wooden architraves, and one is a recessed 4-pane casement. The roof is steeply pitched and half-hipped, with a central raking dormer that has rendered sides and a 4-pane sash. There is a rendered double-flue stack to the right of center and a 20th-century stack to the left. The left and right gables feature 20th-century attic casements. Notably, the house has unusual 19th-century single lap roof tiles that have fluted and scalloped faces, with cable-moulded side laps. The underside of these tiles is inscribed with "Jackson & Garsides Patents Hull. Manufactured by E. Thompson, East Halton, Ulceby, Lincolnshire." Inside, the wall-plate and some upright wall studs are visible, and the section to the left of the stack has a large spine beam supported on a post at the left gable-end, which may indicate a later inserted floor.
