Description
Moor Park House is a detached house, dating from around 1830, that has been altered and is now used as offices. The house is constructed of red brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with sandstone dressings, and has a hipped slate roof. It follows a double-depth, double-fronted plan with a rear service wing. The main house is two storeys high and has cellars beneath, with a symmetrical three-bay facade, the central bay projecting slightly. Features include a stone plinth, a sill band on the first floor, a plain frieze, and a moulded cornice with a blocking course. The main entrance is up three steps and features a porch with Ionic columns and pilasters, an entablature with a cornice and blocking course, and a panelled door with stained glass panels and overlight. The windows are tall, four-pane sashes with raised sills and wedge lintels. Chimneys are located on the side walls. The left return wall has four-pane sashes on both floors, along with a 20th-century addition towards the rear. The right-hand return wall features one tall sash window at ground floor level and a single, narrow sash window on each upper floor towards the rear. Inside, the front room on the right has a moulded plaster cornice and a wide, elliptical-arched alcove.
