Description
White Cottage is a row of three or four cottages that have been combined into one. It dates from the late 16th century and was altered in the 20th century. The building features part timber framing with painted brick and render infill, as well as sections of painted brick. The roof is thatched, gabled on the left side and half-hipped on the right. The structure has a long rectangular plan with four framed bays, a brick extension on the left, and a lean-to extension at the rear. It stands one and a half storeys tall and has two ridge chimneys.
The entrance front faces south and includes two small gabled dormers with 19th-century, two-light casement windows. The ground floor has an irregular layout, featuring a 20th-century, three-light bow window on the left, two gabled, square 20th-century bay windows in the middle section with three-light casement windows, and a single light window on the returns. There are two 20th-century entrance doors, each under a gabled porch, one on the left and one on the right. Additionally, there are small lean-to extensions on both ends of the building. Inside, some of the timber framing is exposed.
