Description
White Post Cottage is a former farmhouse dating from the mid-16th century. It is timber framed and rendered, with a roof made of old plain tiles. The building consists of two cells of a three-cell cross-entry house, although the service end to the right has been lost. It has two storeys and an attic, featuring late 19th-century small-paned casement windows. There is a 20th-century gabled porch with a mid-20th-century plank door. The cottage has an internal stack and one-storey lean-to additions on each gable end.
Inside, the cottage retains intact studding that is closely spaced on the ground floor. The parlour ceiling includes a chamfered axial bridging beam and roll-moulded joists, with two additional roll-moulded joists in the ceiling in front of the stack. In the hall, the joists are chamfered in the upper bay (closer to the stack) and plain in the lower bay. There are back-to-back fireplaces with original lintels, and the brickwork has been repointed in the mid-20th century. The newel stair has been rebuilt, and the roof features queen posts.
