Description

White Cottage and the attached wall to the right is a house dating from the mid-18th century, with later alterations. The cottage is constructed of chalkstone rubble and is whitewashed, featuring a pantile roof and brick stacks. The wall is made of squared chalkstone on a sandstone plinth, with sandstone coping and part rendering. The building has a two-cell, direct-entry plan with an outshut. It stands two storeys high and has two windows. The off-centre board door is flanked by two-light, large-pane casements in their original openings. On the first floor, there are two-light, 12-pane horizontal-sliding sashes. All openings have painted timber lintels. The cottage has end stacks. Inside, the ground floor features square-section joists throughout, and there are plank doors on L-hinges on both floors. In the room to the right, a cast-iron range in the original fireplace is concealed behind a false end wall, which new occupants plan to remove. The garden wall to the right is approximately 1.6 metres high and has sloped coping. The buildings at the rear are not of special interest.
