Description

Moorend Court is a house that likely dates back to the 17th century, with extensions made around 1700 and further alterations in the late 19th century. The building features a mix of timber-frame and brick construction, all covered by plain tiled roofs. The original 17th-century timber-framed section is in an 'L' shape and has been extended by a timber-framed block to the southwest, as well as a larger block from around 1700 to the southeast, which was later remodeled and extended in the late 19th century. The overall layout now resembles a rough 'U' shape.

The 17th-century 'L' plan section has a brick casing and a central stack, consisting of one storey and an attic with three bays. On the northeast elevation, there is a 19th-century central four-pane casement window, with a multi-paned casement to the left and a six-pane casement to the right, all set under segmental heads. There are two symmetrically placed gabled half-dormers, and the entrance is located on the left side, sheltered by an early 20th-century porch with a tiled canopy.

To the southwest, there is a two-storey, two-bay timber-framed block, which likely served as a detached kitchen or service quarters, featuring framing panels that extend four high from the cill to the wall-plate. The block from around 1700, which may have originally been in an 'L' shape, has been surrounded on the northwest, southeast, and southwest by late 19th-century alterations, including a new garden front, but it still retains its northeast gable elevation. This section has two storeys and an attic, with two brick bands of four courses at the eaves and first-floor levels, and two cross-casements on each floor, plus two in the attic gable. The entrance is located under a late 19th-century corner porch on the left, with a large central gabled break for the staircase. Inside, there is a four-flight dog-leg staircase with balusters that suggest a date around 1700.
