Description
Whitehill Cottages is a house dating from the early 18th century. It is built of chequered brick and has a plain tile roof. The building is two storeys high and features a platt band and a modillion eaves cornice beneath a hipped roof, with two ridge stacks positioned at the left and right ends. There are three windows, which are 18th-century three-light glazing bar casements with segmental heads on the ground floor. A 19th-century plank door is located in a 19th-century porch made of diapered brick, which has a barge boarded gable, situated to the front of the right-hand stack. Above the door, there is a small blocked window. The left and right side elevations also have 19th-century diapered brick porches with tiled gables. The building was converted into three cottages in the 19th century and later reconverted back into a single house in the 20th century.
