Description
Moorend Farmhouse is a house dating from the late 17th century, with an early 19th-century wing. It is built of hammer-dressed stone and has a stone slate roof. The layout features a two-cell direct central-entry plan leading into a first cell that is double-depth with a rear wing. The building is two storeys high and has quoins.
All windows are double-chamfered with almost square reveals, although most of the mullions have been removed. The doorway has composite jambs, a Tudor-arched lintel, and a cyma-moulded surround. The flanking ground-floor windows, which were originally four lights in the first cell and three lights in the second cell, have lowered sills. The first floor features former three-light windows. The gables are coped with kneelers, and there are stacks, including a central ridge stack.
At the rear, there is a wing that is attached at right angles and has a coped gable with a stack. On the left return, the wing has a doorway with tie-stone jambs and a lintel cut with false voussoirs, next to a 16-pane Yorkshire sash window under the lintel with incised voussoirs. The window above has been altered to a casement.
Inside, the first cell contains a stop-chamfered spine beam of large scantling and a Tudor-arched fireplace with a chamfered surround. The second cell has a roughly-dressed spine beam. There is a 19th-century single flight stair located at the rear of the first cell, at the junction with the wing.
