Description

White Cottage is a house dating from the 17th to 18th century. It is constructed of whitewashed brick and rubble, topped with a double-Roman tiled roof. The building features two brick stacks, with the one on the left rising from the eaves level. On the first floor, there are three 18th-century casement windows. The ground floor has a two-light and a three-light window made of moulded stone with mullions, both of which have labels above them. There is a central door opening that contains a 20th-century door. The cottage is included in the listing primarily for its group value.
