He trained as an architect, presumably with Jesse Horsfall, and was elected Licentiate RIBA in 1910. From 1911 he advertised himself as both architect and estate agent. The latter occupied much of his time, with advertisements appearing frequently in the local press and he was also Agent for the Fieldings at Dobroyd Castle. Known architectural commissions are relatively few.

In January 1909, he married (2) Helen Blackburn of Ferndale House, the granddaughter of Abraham Webster, master cabinet maker and cotton manufacturer of Old Shop Mill, in Todmorden. Together they had one child, a son, James Peter Stott who also qualified as an architect.
