Description

White House Cottage is a house dating from the early to mid-18th century. It is constructed of red-brown local brick, featuring lighter gauged bricks around the original ground floor openings. The roof is covered with renewed pantiles and has end stacks as well as a large central stack. The building has two storeys and four bays.

The central entrance consists of a four-panel door set within a plain architrave, which is topped by an elliptical rubbed-brick arch with matching jambs, although this has been partly rebuilt. To the left of the entrance are sash windows with 19th-century glazing, while to the right is a large square window with ten panes in each sash and a wide four-panel door with cusped arches that leads to a through passage. Above the entrance, there are two 16-pane sash windows under elliptical brick arches, a blind panel above the central entrance, and a large 16-pane sash window. A three-course band runs along the first floor, and there is a dentilled cornice. The gable end features tumbled-in brickwork.

Inside, the cottage has chamfered and stopped ceiling beams. The upper part of the staircase includes plank cut balusters with a simple nave pattern dating to around 1700. There is an 18th-century bolection-moulded fireplace on the first floor and a ground floor corner fireplace that likely dates to around 1700.
