White Gates

White Gates is a pair of cottages located on Church Street in Bishop's Castle. They date from the mid- to late 17th century, with later alterations and additions from the late 19th century and late 20th century. The cottages are timber framed with painted infill panels, and the left side is rendered with painted imitation framing. The end walls are made of coursed limestone rubble, with the right wall painted. The roof is covered with 20th-century slate.

The building likely consists of four framed bays and is one storey high with an attic. It features four gabled dormers that have slate-hung sides and late 19th-century cast iron lozenge-paned two-light casements. There are integral end stacks off the ridge to the left and right, along with a brick ridge stack that has been rebuilt above the roof in the mid- to late 20th century. The framing consists of square panels.

The front of the cottages has five windows with late 19th-century cast iron lozenge-paned casements. There is a boarded door located between the first and second windows from the left, and a late 19th-century hipped-roofed porch situated between the first and second windows from the right. This porch has a hipped stone slate roof and a central late 20th-century boarded door flanked by lozenge-paned windows. Additionally, there is a 20th-century ground floor canted bay in the gable end to the right.
