Description
White Stone Cottage and an adjoining stable were likely built in the late 17th or early 18th century. The cottage is constructed of coursed, squared rubble with quoins, while the stable is of a similar construction. They have a 45-degree pitched roof covered with graduated slate. The cottage is two storeys high, with a cellar, and has four bays overall. The main part of the cottage has a central entrance door, a 20th-century casement window to the left, and a two-light stone mullioned window to the right. Above are two 20th-century casements and a long stair window with glazing bars between the floors. The single-bay stable has a plank door within a doorcase featuring a false four-centred head, a small casement window to the right, and a larger casement above. A cavetto eaves moulding extends across both the cottage and the stable. The cottage has brick end chimneys, with a ball finial to the gable end of the stable. Stone surrounds all the openings.
Inside the cottage, the interior features late 17th and early 18th century panelled doors. Original beams are present. The side of the staircase is filled with plank and muntins. The staircase, constructed of wood over stone, rises from the cellar to the attic, featuring a cut string with turned spindles, a moulded handrail, and square newels on the upper flights. There are cupboards beside the fireplace in a ground-floor room at the rear, and wardrobes built into partition walls upstairs. The subdivided cellar has a segmental barrel vault. The large attic, said to have been used as a granary, contains two numbered king-post trusses with queen struts. The interior of the stable retains original stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops of the stall partitions.
