Description

Moorhouse Farmhouse is a late 18th-century farmhouse built from hammer-dressed watershot stone, topped with a graduated stone slate roof. The building has a double-depth plan with two bays and stands two storeys high. It features quoins and a central square-cut door surround, flanked by three-light flat-faced stone mullion windows, each with one mullion removed. On the first floor, there is a 10-light workshop window, also with one mullion removed, along with four blocked lights and a continuous sill band. The farmhouse has gable chimney stacks. The rear of the building is partly obscured by a later addition, which includes three-light windows on the upper floor, each with a mullion removed. The adjoining farm buildings are not included in this listing.
