Description
White Cottage is a house from the mid-17th century, with the possibility of an earlier core. It features a three-cell lobby entrance plan and has one and a half storeys plus attics. The structure is timber framed and rendered between exposed studwork, topped with a thatched roof that includes gabled and eyebrow dormers. An axial chimney made of red brick has attached diagonally-set square shafts. The windows are 20th-century two- and three-light casements with leaded glazing. There is a 20th-century plain-tiled entrance porch and a boarded door. Inside, the first floor has ovolo-moulded members and a wind-braced clasped purlin roof at the parlour end only. The service end features substantial unmoulded framing and first floor joists. It is likely that the house originally had a two-cell core from the 15th or 16th century, with the parlour cell added to the left-hand end in the 17th century.
