Mota House

Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c.1800, having shallow central entrance breakfront and windowless return at south end of rear. Pitched slate roof with rendered eaves course and end chimneystacks. Roughcast rendered walls. Two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows with eight-over-eight pane to rear, with limestone sills. Timber door with plain fanlight in recessed round-headed surround to slightly projecting porch with limestone coping. Battened timber doors to rear, one having six-pane overlight. Two-storey stone outbuildings to rear incorporating two carriage arches. Pitched slate roof retained to one outbuilding.

A modest but well-proportioned house retaining many important external features including slate roof, lime render and two large small-pane sash windows to the rear elevation. The quality of materials used in construction and the retention of sash windows has ensured the survival of the character of this house.
