Cottage And Attached Outbuildings At Moat Farm

The cottage and attached outbuildings at Moat Farm date from the late 17th century and were altered in the early 19th and 20th centuries. The structure is built from coursed squared limestone rubble with ashlar dressings and features a pantiled roof that has a single raised stone coped gable, a triple funnel ridge stack, and a red brick wall stack. The cottage has a lobby entry plan and is a single storey with attics, presenting a four-bay front. The entrance is off-center, featuring half-glazed double doors that are sheltered by a 20th-century wooden porch. To the right of the entrance are single windows, and to the left, there is a pair of two-light sliding glazing bar sashes. All openings are topped with timber lintels. The roof includes two gabled dormers and one flat-roofed dormer, all with pantiled roofs and leaded cheeks.

Inside, the cottage retains chamfered girders, two 19th-century slate fire surrounds with plain pilasters and corbels, and an early 18th-century raised and fielded panelled cupboard with a dentillated cornice, along with a smaller matching wall cupboard. The left-hand gable features a two-light ovolo moulded mullioned window with a moulded cornice. At the rear, there is an attached range of outbuildings that also have pantiled roofs and a single brick gable stack. The outbuildings include two planked doors, two two-light sliding glazing bar sashes, all with timber lintels, and two pairs of planked doors to the right.
