Mott Cottage

Mott Cottage is a pair of attached cottages that have been combined, dating from the early 18th century, with alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building is timber framed and plastered, topped with a thatched roof. It has four bays facing east and features a central stack, along with an external stack at the left end. There is a single-storey wing with a tiled roof added to the rear of the left end, and a lean-to extension to the right of it. The cottage is one storey high with attics, and it includes four 20th-century casement windows, as well as two additional casements in large gabled dormers with tiled roofs. A door is located in the left return. The roof is gambrel and half-hipped at the right end. A modern cement panel at the rear of the left stack displays the date 1749, which may be a copy of an earlier original. The building features primary straight bracing, and the central stack is from the 19th century, with a small hearth on each side. Each half of the cottage has one chamfered transverse beam with lamb's tongue stops. The rafter couples are halved at the apices and there is no ridge piece.
