Old Cote

Old Cote is a house dated 1650, constructed of limestone rubble with some rendered sections and a graduated stone slate roof. The building has two storeys and four bays, with an additional bay added in the 19th or 20th century on the right. It features quoins and a two-storey porch at bay three, which has a half-glazed four-panel door set in a chamfered quoined surround. Above the door is a four-centred arch under a square chamfer, and a plaque above displays two recessed panels with relief lettering, stating "1650" above and "I S M S" below. The house has recessed chamfered mullion windows throughout, with three stepped lights in the porch's first-floor window, and ground floor windows featuring three, four, and five lights with hoodmoulds. The first floor has windows with two, three, and three lights. To the left of the porch, there is a stair turret with narrow single-light windows. The house has end stacks and a ridge stack located between the first and second bays. The interior was not inspected during the resurvey, but it is noted that the staircase position is unusual, as most staircases are typically located on the rear wall or at the front of the house within the porch, with the door placed off-centre.
