Description
Mote House is a house from the 19th century, possibly with an earlier core. The front is rendered and features a plain tile roof. The building has two storeys and consists of three main blocks. The left block has a steeply pitched hipped roof and a small chimney on the left gable end. The windows are arranged irregularly, with two small first-floor casements with segmental heads on the left and in the center, and one glazing bar sash at the right end. There is a small clock situated between the left and central windows. A 20th-century single-storey extension is attached to the left end. The porch is supported by two Doric columns that carry an entablature and a flat hood. The right block projects forward and also has a hipped roof with a rear chimney. There is one first-floor glazing bar sash at the left end, while the rest of the facade is obscured by a two-storey 20th-century extension that has a pitched plain tile roof, a slightly projecting central chimney, and segmental-headed windows. The roofline of a lower rear range is visible between the two front blocks, but the rear elevation appears to be from the 19th century.
