Cotescue Park House With Cottage Attached At Rear

Cotescue Park is a house with an attached cottage located in Coverham with Agglethorpe. The main house dates from the late 18th century, while the cottage and an extension were added in the early to mid-19th century. The building features coursed rubble, some roughcast, and has ashlar dressings with a stone slate roof.

The house is two stories tall, with a five-bay front and a three-bay section. There are rear ranges extending at right angles to both the left and right, with the cottage attached to the end of the right range. The main house has a plinth and rusticated quoins. A central closed porch from the 19th century has a flat roof and a six-panel door framed by an eared architrave, a pulvinated frieze, and a pediment. The windows are sash style with glazing bars, set in moulded surrounds, with the window above the door being eared and slightly raised in the center. The house features a wooden modillion cornice, shaped kneelers, and ashlar copings, along with corniced ashlar stacks at the ends.

The right range has roughcast rubble and a stone slate roof, with sash windows featuring glazing bars in ashlar surrounds. Notably, there is a medieval quatrefoil with a shield below it on the first floor. The right return and wing are also made of roughcast rubble, with a doorway that has a re-set lintel featuring a convex-chamfered triangular-soffit lintel inscribed with "1662 GH" and "AH" on the spandrels.

The cottage is two stories high with two first-floor windows, and its openings are in ashlar surrounds. It has a six-panel 19th-century door with an overlight and 12-pane unequally-hung sash windows. There are stacks located between the first and second bays and at the end right. The left return is rendered, and there is a projecting square bay window on the ground floor from the 19th century. Inside the main house, there are early to mid-19th-century cornices and a Victorian staircase. The initials above the side door are believed to refer to George Horner, who died in 1676.
