Description

White Cottage is a 17th century timber-framed and plastered cottage originally designed with a two-unit plan, later extended in painted brick to the west. It features a thatched roof with a rebuilt ridge stack and is one storey high with an attic. The cottage has two dormer windows and a modern closed thatched porch with a boarded door, along with four ground floor casement windows. The interior has been renovated. This building is included for its group value.
