Description

White Cottage is a cottage that dates from the early 18th century or later, with a 20th-century addition. It features a timber frame that is plastered, along with a painted and plastered brick plinth. The roof is covered with 20th-century ridge pantiles and has brick stacks at both ends. The building is one storey high with an attic. The main entrance is located at the rear in the 20th-century extension. There are two three-light casement windows and one window with top light ventilation, as well as one nine-paned window that may have been inserted in a doorway. Additionally, there are four dormer windows with sloping roofs.
