Pair Of Cottages About 40 Metres West Of White House Farm House

This building is a pair of cottages located about 40 meters west of White House Farm House. It dates from the 15th or early 16th century and has been extended and altered in the early 17th and 19th centuries. The structure is timber-framed and plastered, topped with a steeply pitched corrugated sheet roof. Originally, it was likely a two-bay open hall with a storeyed lower end, and a parlour bay and stack were added to create a three-cell cross passage plan. The cottages are one storey with an attic.

The entrance is located in the cross passage between the service and hall bays, slightly left of center, featuring a recessed boarded door flanked by two-light glazing bar casements, all with headboards. There is also a three-light gabled dormer. The parlour addition has an entrance to the left of center with a six-light part-opening transomed casement and a hoodboard, along with a two-light gabled dormer. An axial stack is positioned behind the ridge to the right of center. The left gable end includes an entrance and an attic three-light window with bargeboards.

Set back slightly to the right is a lower 19th-century one-storey and attic clay lump addition with two-light casements and a shallow pantiled roof. The rear parlour bays project slightly further with higher eaves, featuring a clay lump and brick outshut. The interior of the earlier cottage on the left has not been inspected, but the parlour contains close studding that is largely concealed, an ogee stop-chamfered cross axial binding beam, and storey posts, along with three and four-light diamond mullion window openings. The roof has not been inspected.
