Description

Moorlands is a house dating from the late 18th century, constructed from hammer-dressed watershot stone and topped with a graduated stone slate roof. The building features a two-bay, two-storey double-range plan, with a small 20th-century extension on the left side. It has quoins and displays a variety of window styles, including two and five-light flat-faced stone mullion windows, with a two-light window in the gable. The rear of the house includes three and five-light windows on the ground floor and a combination of three, two, and two-light windows on the first floor, all featuring recessed flat-faced stone mullions. A gable chimney stack completes the structure.
