Description
White Rose Cottage is a late 18th-century cottage featuring two cells, constructed with cob walls that are colourwashed and topped with a thatched roof and a central chimney. The building is two storeys high. The south front has two bays with 19th-century two-light wooden casements on the first floor, and one similar window on the ground floor, which also includes two later leaded casements. There is a modern entrance door on the gable to the east and a modern single-storey lean-to extension on the west. This cottage is notable for its unusual construction in East Berkshire and has seen little alteration over the years.
