Shown on 1st edition Ordnance Survey map. Joseph Wakinshaw, estate founder and initiator of the Northern Allotment Society in 1890 (see HER 6879), lived here until 1923. Wakinshaw developed garden cities and planned many areas around Tyneside including Westerhope. The house was then occupied by his brother William, a Methodist minister and temperence advocate.

Until the 1890s, when it became Westerhope, the area was known as Red Cow Farm Estate. The cottage is two storeys high with a Dutch style roof and has stone sills and lintels. The extension on the cottage has the name ‘Primrose Cottage’ carved into it. The outbuildings are single storey, with both pan tiled and corrugated iron roofing.
