Description
The Dell and Whiteleaf Cottage is a house that has been converted into two cottages, dated 1737 according to an inscribed stone plaque on the west front. The building is constructed from coursed and squared rubble and features a double Roman tile roof with three brick stacks. It has a U-shaped plan.
The west front is two storeys high and has two bays, with two and three-light bead-moulded stone mullioned windows that have stopped labels. The right window on the first floor has leaded lights and a decorative iron quadrant. There is a door opening in a 20th-century lean-to on the left, featuring a half-glazed door.
The east front is also two storeys and has three bays, with two and three-light ogee-moulded stone mullioned windows, again with stopped labels and relieving arches on the ground floor, along with an additional single light opening. The door here is set in a dressed stone surround with a label and features a 20th-century half-glazed door. Inside, there are some exposed ceiling beams and a fireplace with a broad wooden bressumer.
