Moor House

Moor House, formerly the Vicarage to the Church of All Saints and now the Estate Office, was built in the mid to late 18th century by John Carr for Edwin Lascelles, 1st Lord Harewood. The building is constructed of punch-dressed stone with ashlar dressings and features a Welsh blue-slate roof. It is a double-depth structure with two storeys and five bays, presenting a symmetrical facade.

The facade includes a plinth and a first-floor band, with the central three bays slightly projecting under an open triangular pediment. The central bay is set within a giant semicircular-arched recess, accessed by a flight of three well-dressed steps. This doorway has monolithic jambs, consoles, and a cornice, with a glazed fanlight above, flanked by narrow windows with a cornice. Above the doorway, there is a large Venetian window set under an ashlar arch. The recess features voussoirs aligned with the stone courses, which break into the tympanum of the pediment. The other bays contain sash windows with glazing bars, slightly projecting sills, and wedge-shaped monolithic lintels cut with false voussoirs. The building has a casement-moulded eaves cornice and a deep ashlar parapet with coping, topped by a hipped roof that includes two large stacks on the rear pitch.

At the rear, there are quoins to the outshut, which has a central doorway, a two-light window to the left, and a single window to the right, all beneath a lean-to roof. The main range features twin gables with windows at the apexes, coped gables with kneelers, and stacks. The left-hand return has a window to the left of a canted ashlar bay window with a casement-moulded cornice, and a 16-pane sash window above.

Inside, the entrance hall has doorways in architraves on either side and a semicircular arch leading to the stair beyond. The open-string staircase features a three-quarter turn with bracketed treads, simple stick balusters, and a wreathed-and-ramped handrail. The windows are fitted with raised-and-fielded panel shutters, and the ceilings have casement-moulded cornices.
