Description

Moor House is an earlier 18th-century house located in Widemarsh Common, Hereford. It is constructed of brick with a hipped roof covered in Welsh slate, featuring a brick ridge stack and a brick stack to the rear. The house has two storeys and an attic, with an 8-window front. The windows are 6/6 sash windows set in moulded cases, each with a gauged brick segmental arch. A storeyband runs along the front, and there are deep eaves. The roof has three dormers with 9-light horizontal casements and moulded eaves.

The central entrance has a 20th-century brick porch with panelled double doors and overlight, leading to an original 18th-century 6-panel door with a margin-glazed overlight, flanked by pilasters. The rear of the house features sashes and casements, a glazed porch, and an 18/2 round-headed sash window with stained glass. There are brick modillion eaves.

Inside, the house contains an open-well staircase with turned balusters and newels, a swan neck rail, and a panelled dado to the first floor. On the second floor, a 19th-century fireplace is present, and oak posts and studs are exposed. The first floor includes 6-panel doors, a 19th-century fireplace, an 18th-century panelled room with coving, and a 4-panel door. Various 19th-century fireplaces, architraves, a lined arch, overlight, tiled fireplace, panelling, and a coved ceiling are also noted. The ground floor has 6-panel doors with architraves, a slate fireplace, a 19th-century panelled dado, and a hall featuring 17th and 18th-century panelling and arch-mouldings. A notable feature is a 19th-century bolection-moulded fireplace with tiles and a 1654 fireback, alongside a 17th-century stone fireplace with a 1683 fireback. Window shutters are also present. One ground floor room has an enriched plaster ceiling, alcoves with panelled doors, and a 19th-century fireplace. A 19th-century wing to the rear includes a half-glazed door and screen, a polychrome tiled floor, and a panelled dado.
