Description
White Cottage, a barn, a cow house, and a poultry house, dates primarily from the 18th century, although it may have earlier origins. The cottage is built of rubble and has a stone slate roof, with end stacks to the left and a rear side stack. It is a two-cell plan building, two storeys high, with two windows. A mid-19th century six-pane casement window is to the right of the entrance. There are also 18th-century metal four-pane casement windows, one above the entrance and another above the ground floor window. A 20th-century brick porch with an asbestos roof leads to an 18th-century ledged door, set within a pegged door frame with run-out chamfer-stops. To the right of the cottage is a single-storey stone slate-roofed extension, also featuring a chamfered pegged door frame and a ledged door. A small window on the rear left elevation may illuminate a newel staircase. Attached to the south-west corner of the cottage is a barn and cow house, constructed of rubble with a stone slate roof, and set at a right angle. This section has full-height ledged doors to the left and a loft door to the front gable. Two ledged doors serve the cow house from the right. A small, low poultry house is situated at the junction of the cottage and barn. The interiors were not inspected.
