Description
Moon's Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1698, constructed from handmade brick and covered unevenly with roughcast painted white. It features a steeply-pitched roof of corrugated sheet, likely over thatch, with boarded eaves. There are two chimneys: one on the ridge at the junction of the second and third bays, and another in front of the ridge at the left gable. The building has a three-bay baffle-entry plan with a partial outshut at the rear of the first bay, and it stands two storeys tall, with the walls at the first floor slightly set back, possibly due to an early raising.
At the junction of the second and third bays, there is a single-storey gabled porch with a segmental-headed opening at the front and small rectangular peepholes on the sides. The inner door is six-panelled. The farmhouse has three sliding sash windows on each floor; the ground floor windows are all three lights with remnants of labels above them, while the first-floor windows are all two lights. Both gable and rear walls feature similar old labels, mostly above blocked windows. The left gable has one label at ground floor and two above, one of which is a two-light sliding sash. The right gable has one label on each floor, with the upper label being longer.
The rear of the outshut to the first bay has labels for a pantry window, a blocked stairlight, and a small blocked window below this. The rear of the house part has a long stepped label, broken in the centre by an inserted sliding sash, and at the first floor, there is a small window in one light of what appears to have been a six-light mullioned window. The third bay includes a back door and a fixed window.
Inside, the house part features an inglenook bressummer and two beams with tongue-stopped ovolo moulding, along with a carved wooden spice cupboard inscribed with "I T 1698." The parlour has a similar beam, while the pantry contains a chamfered beam and a wooden quarter-turn staircase. The third bay has been altered. The first floor is open to the rafters.
