Mote Cottage

Mote Cottage is a house built around 1870 as an estate house for the Howards of Naworth. It is constructed from dressed calciferous sandstone with bands of red sandstone and features a green slate roof adorned with decorative ridge tiles, coped gables, and stone chimney stacks. The building has two storeys and three bays. The entrance consists of half-plank oak doors with sidelights and a mullioned fanlight, all framed by a moulded surround and pointed arch, topped with a shaped hood-mould. On either side of the entrance are two projecting canted bay windows. The right bay window extends up to a gabled dormer with cross-mullioned windows, while the left bay window has a transomed window with a pointed head and a gabled dormer above. All the windows are fitted with leaded casements.
