Description
Whitehouse Cottage is a house that was once divided into three cottages. It dates from the second half of the 17th century and has later additions. The building is timber framed and plastered, topped with a thatched roof. It stands two storeys high with an attic and has a three-cell layout. The exterior features various old small-paned casement windows and a boarded entrance door. There is an internal stack and a gable stack on the left side. To the right, there is a lean-to addition that is mostly weatherboarded and has a pantiled roof. A rear lean-to, likely from the 18th century, has the main roof continuing down over it. The interior has been modernised, showcasing regular plain studding with straight primary braces, and small joists that are either square or set flat. The roof structure includes two rows of stepped butt purlins.
