Description
The White Cottage is a house dating from the early 19th century. It is constructed of whitewashed brick and features a hipped slate roof. The building has a double pile square plan and stands two storeys tall with three windows on the front. The central entrance includes a six-panelled door topped with a semi-circular fanlight and a keystone above a round arch. The windows are glazing bar sashes set in deep reveals, with stone sills and rubbed brick heads. There is a plinth and a parapet that runs around the entire building. A stack is located at the right end, while the left return is roughcast and has two first-floor windows and a stack at the rear. The right return has three windows, all of which are blind except for a central pair. The interior has not been inspected.
