Description
Whitehouse Cottage is a house that likely dates back to the 16th century, with later extensions. It has one storey and attics, featuring five windows. The building is timber-framed and plastered, with a pantiled roof that was once thatched. There are two axial 19th-century chimneys made of red brick, which have bases with a sawtooth band and shafts that are of triple sawtooth form. The cottage includes three 19th-century gabled dormers that have 20th-century small-pane casements, as well as mid-20th-century small-pane casements and a glazed entrance door. The interior has not been examined.
