Description
The White Cottage is a house built in 1903 by C.F.A. Voysey. It is a two-storey house of three bays, built with rough cast render, stone dressings, and a hipped slate roof. The windows are quadruple casements with stone mullions and leaded lights. The central bay projects as a square form, rising through the eaves into a third-storey belvedere. A twelve-panelled door, with the top three panels glazed, is sheltered by a broad, flat hood; this hood is keyed into the projecting square bay on the right and supported by a wooden truss on the left. Above the roof, substantial stacks rise to attenuated cyma cornices. An additional full-height bay extends to the left.
