Description

Whites Cottage is an early 19th-century house located in Old Romney. The building features a ground floor made of yellowish-red brick and a first floor that is tile-hung. It has a plain tile roof and stands two storeys high with a hipped roof. There are red brick ridge stacks positioned towards each hip of the roof. The windows are arranged irregularly, consisting of four 2-light casements, with two on the left side and two, spaced more broadly, on the right. The centre of the cottage has two boarded doors. There is a short wing that extends to the left. The interior has not been inspected, and the building is marked as Whites House on the Ordnance Survey map.
