Description
White Cottage is a building that likely dates from the early 19th century. It features walls that are partly made of cob and partly of brick, topped with a thatched roof and a brick chimney. The cottage is two storeys high and is positioned at right angles to the road. There is a single-storey rear addition with brick and plastered walls, also covered by a thatched roof. A modern part-glazed door is set within a timber porch. Both the ground and first floors have two casement windows each, which include glazing bars. This building is included for its group value.
