The White Cottage

The White Cottage is a building dating from around 1600, with some alterations. It has two storeys and three bays, featuring an old tiled roof with sprocketed eaves. The left end has a chimney made of old bricks with large offsets. The walls are currently covered with mock half-timbering and rendered filling, resting on an old brick foundation. In the central bay, there is an upper window set in a gabled half-dormer that breaks the eaves. Below this window, there is a half-glazed four-panel door sheltered by a gabled hood. The cottage also has small, plain modern casement windows, a modern back lean-to, and a one-storey extension on the left. Inside, one room features a beam with curved chamfer-stops and old joists. There is also an inglenook fireplace, mostly rebuilt, but it retains an old bread oven. The roof structure includes side purlins and regular arch braces to the wall plate.
