White Gates

White Gates is a cottage built in 1622, with later alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries. It features a timber frame that is plaster rendered and has been cased or rebuilt in brick on the front and end wall. The roof is a long straw thatch with a half hipped design, and there is a local brown-red brick ridge stack with one flue that has been rebuilt. The cottage has two bays and a lobby entry, along with a two-bay rear kitchen wing added in the 19th century. It is one storey with an attic.

On the front, there are two casement windows from around 1920, positioned under segmental arches on either side of the front door. The end wall is framed and plastered, while the gable end has a modern casement window. The rear wing is constructed of brick and has a thatched roof. Inside, there are back-to-back hearths, with one added in the 19th century when the cottage was subdivided. The original staircase, located beside the stack, is now blocked, and there is a 19th-century cupboard staircase in the former parlour. The inglenook fireplace features a cast-iron fireback with the date 1622 and the initials I + H, which may commemorate a marriage. The ceiling in this room has chamfered joists and a broad stop chamfer on the main beam.
