Description
Whitewall Cottages and the attached stable building form a terrace of eight cottages, now reduced to four cottages and a stable, dating from the early 19th century. The buildings have undergone modernisation and extension in the 20th century, particularly affecting part of the former stable. The cottages are constructed from whitewashed sandstone sitting on a plinth, topped with a pantile roof featuring brick stacks, while the stable building has a slate roof.
The front elevation is low, with nine windows and a total of four replacement board doors. The windows are predominantly two-light, small-pane designs, except for those at the left end, which have been replaced with larger-pane casements. The original openings are framed by whitewashed flat arches. Centrally located are two round-arched niches; the lower niche houses a cast-iron pump, while the upper niche is blank. The eaves feature a stepped course.
On the gable wall to the right, there is a Victorian letterbox. The left gable end has a coped roof with a shaped kneeler and supports one end of a wrought-iron overthrow and lamp bracket that is linked to Whitewall House. The building has five ridge stacks and is included for its group value.
