The Rochdale Childrens Moorland Home

The Rochdale Children's Moorland Home is a former farmhouse and attached buildings, now serving as a children's home. The date 1756 is inscribed on a stone lintel. The structure is built of watershot stone with a stone slate roof and consists of a three-unit, two-storey farmhouse featuring a porch in the central unit. The attached buildings on the left include an outshut porch at the front and a wing with a substantial 20th-century addition at the rear. The presence of a cart entry, which is now a door, suggests that these were originally farm buildings, possibly a barn.

The farmhouse showcases various one, two, and three-light flat-faced mullion windows, along with a projecting porch. The three-bay building to the left has a central cart entry with four-piece square-cut jambs and a dated lintel. The projecting porch in the third bay appears to have been added later, along with a lean-to that features a three-light chamfered mullion window. The gable of the building has a three-light chamfered mullion window with a hoodmould at the first-floor level.
