Description

White Cottage is a small hall house from the late 16th century or early 17th century, featuring a three-bay cruck frame and single-storey construction with rubble-stone walls. It has a baffle-entry plan and what appears to be a contemporary central stack. The thatched roof includes attic dormers and a rebuilt brick chimney.

The entrance front is asymmetrical and rendered in stone, with a right gable that has been partly rebuilt in brick and features brick copings. There is a modern chimney on the right side. The entrance is flush with a modern stable door, flanked by 12-pane flush casement windows on the ground floor and in the attic dormers. To the left, there are similar windows along with an additional 6-pane casement window at the far left. There is also a recessed entrance on the right with a door similar to the main entrance and a 6-pane flush casement window to the right.

Inside, the three bays are still identifiable as parlour, hall, and service areas, with a beamed ceiling in the parlour and a modern subdivision in the hall. The hall features a large chamfered bressumer above the inglenook.
