The Cottage White House

The Cottage White House, formerly known as White House, is a pair of houses located on Church Street. The White House dates back to the early 16th century and was remodeled in the early 18th century, with a facade added in 1875 by JK Colling. It features a timber-framed and brick construction with plaintile and slate roofs. The facade is rendered and whitewashed, consisting of two storeys and a dormer attic with a five-window range. The central entrance has an eight-panelled door, with the upper two panels glazed, framed by an eared doorcase. There are two 6/6 unhorned sash windows on either side of the door and five sash windows on the first floor. The building has a parapet and a gabled roof with a flat-topped dormer and shaped early 18th-century gable ends, each with a square stack.

To the left is The Cottage, which dates from the late 17th century and has a timber frame that is rendered and whitewashed. It has a hipped slate roof and is two storeys tall. The ground floor features a bay window with 2/2 and 8/8 horned sashes, and a six-panelled door to the right, with the upper two panels glazed and an eared timber doorcase topped with an open pediment. The rear elevation has two gabled wings, with the eastern wing showcasing an early 18th-century shaped gable and an apical stack. The windows throughout include a mix of 19th and 20th-century casements and sashes.

Inside, there is a cellar with 16th-century brickwork. The east ground-floor room contains large-framed 18th-century panelling, a modillion eaves cornice, and a four-centred fireplace with carved spandrels. The west room features multiple roll-moulded 16th-century bridging beams, a middle rail, and joists, all with tongue stops. An open-string mid-18th-century staircase has turned balusters and a ramped and wreathed handrail. The rear east wing has a timber frame with heavy scantling and jowled principal posts, with arched braces to the tie beams. The roof of the front range consists of four bays of a crown post roof, with the crown posts having open arched braces to the crown purlin. The Cottage has a late 17th-century frame with chamfered bridging beams and plain joists.
