Description

White Hart Cottage, originally two houses and now a single dwelling, dates from the 18th century, with a range to the south dated 1766 and a single bay addition from the later 18th century. Further additions and alterations were made in the early and late 19th century, the early, mid, and late 20th century, with rehabilitation occurring in the early 20th century.

The southern range is constructed of coursed squared limestone with a plain tile roof and a coped stone gable stack to the south. The northern range has stone ridge and gable stacks, some with 19th-century brick copings. The building has two storeys plus attics, featuring a three-window range. Windows are primarily 18th and 19th-century casements with leaded glazing and wooden lintels. A later 20th-century gabled stone porch with a board door is positioned centrally, with a single window to the left and two windows to the right on the ground floor. Similar window arrangement is present on the first floor. A datestone inscribed "WJM 1766" is located above the door, sheltered by a hood. Two 19th-century gabled dormers with leaded casements punctuate the attic, the one on the right having been partly reglazed. The southern range’s rear elevation features 19th-century lean-to additions and a late 20th-century gabled wing to the south. A later 20th-century gabled wooden porch covers an early 19th-century close boarded door to the left of the rear range, while the right side of the rear range features two early 19th-century two-light casements with leaded glazing and wooden lintels, and a 19th-century gabled dormer with an iron-framed two-light casement above.

The interior of the southern range has the ground floor rooms combined. Features include chamfered spine beams, the one to the north exhibiting run-out stops, exposed joists, and a principal fireplace with a moulded bressumer. A ceiled room at the north end of this range displays a chamfered spine beam and a principal fireplace with a bressumer that has been cut down and fitted with a 19th-century hearth. The first floor has chamfered spine beams and exposed joists to the south, alongside a ceiled room to the north with a chamfered spine beam and stops. Early 19th-century hob grates with plain wooden surrounds are found at the north and south ends. The attics showcase a principal rafter roof with double purlins and a ridge board. The northern range contains a ceiled ground floor room with plain chamfered span beams and two close boarded doors. A mid-20th-century staircase is present. The first floor of the northern range has mid-20th-century partitions and fittings, with windows to the rear only. The attic of the northern range has a double purlin common rafter roof, a ceiled interior, and an 18th-century plank door.
