Description
White Swan Cottage is an early 18th-century house positioned end-on to the road. It is two storeys high and features a flint-faced exterior with red brick long and short quoins, a stringcourse, and window dressings. The building has two curved Flemish gable ends that are edged in brick. The gable facing the road includes four small round-headed casements, along with two 3-light casements from the 19th century. There is a sun fire plaque on the building, and a modern two-storey extension in flint has been added.
