Description

White House Cottage is a house dating from the early 18th century, with alterations made in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It is primarily constructed of handmade brick and features a plain tiled roof with a parapet and kneelers at the gable ends. The building has a three-bay range that runs east to west and includes two large external brick chimneys positioned at the central and right bays of the north front elevation.

The cottage is single-storey with an attic that has dormers, and it also has a cellar at the east end. It features a chamfered brick plinth and a two-course band between the storeys. The windows throughout are casements with cambered heads and blue brick sills. The front elevation has an irregular arrangement of windows, including two three-light windows, a rectangular light, and a small square window located at the base of the left chimney. A gabled dormer with a two-light window is situated between the chimneys.

The main entrance is located in a rear 20th-century wing that adjoins the central bay, and there is also a 20th-century single-storey extension at the west gable end. The front wall displays six "S"-shaped tie rod ends. This compact early 18th-century brick house, with its two large external chimneys, was once part of the Vernon Estate.
