Description
Moor Bottom Farmhouse and the attached barn are a pair of cottages, one of which is currently empty, built in the early 19th century. They are constructed from hammer-dressed stone and topped with a stone slate roof, forming a 'T'-shaped plan. The building stands two storeys high, with each cottage featuring a doorway with monolithic jambs and a four-light flat facet mullioned window, which has a long stone placed over the lintel. On the first floor, each cottage has two two-light flat faced mullioned windows. The left-hand cottage retains its original windows with eight panes of glazing. There are two chimney stacks at the ridge near the gable point. At the west end, a long narrow barn is built at right angles to the cottages, featuring a cat slide roof that extends down on both sides from the cottages' roof. The barn includes a segmental arch that rises from impost blocks with composite jambs, and above it is a three-bole pigeon columbarium. This design of laithe house is unusual, with the barn providing a windbreak for the cottage front on an exposed moorland site.
