Description
Roger Moor Farmhouse and the adjoining dairy are a 17th-century structure with alterations from the 18th and 19th centuries. The building features limewashed coursed rubble with quoins, a boulder plinth, and ashlar dressings. It has a stone-flagged roof with stone and brick chimneys and stone gable copings. The farmhouse is two stories high with four bays, while the lower dairy, which was formerly a farmhouse, has two stories and three bays.
The dairy has a boarded door on the left beneath a wide, chamfered stone lintel, an inserted door to the right of center under a flat stone lintel, and a square boarded pitching door at the eaves on the first floor to the right. The adjoining house on the left features a half-glazed door in the first bay and a battened boarded door in the third bay, with late 19th-century sash windows, flat stone lintels, and projecting stone sills.
The dairy has a steeply-pitched roof, while the house has a low-pitched roof with three ridge chimneys: a brick chimney at the left end and square stone stacks at the ends of the three right bays. Inside the dairy, the right part is rendered with an inserted partition and an underdrawn ceiling. There is a large chamfered beam in the left part with stepped stops. The roof consists of two upper cruck trusses with stop-chamfered collars and spurs (missing on the south side), two levels of trenched purlins, and massive collars at the apex. Only the right side of the first truss is visible, while the second truss shows a W-shaped top of the collar on the west side and a triangle on the east beneath abutting blades cut to receive the ridge piece.
