Description
Moseley Bank is a house dating from the late 17th century, with extensions added in the 18th and 19th centuries. It features a timber frame with painted brick panels and a plain tile roof that has both gabled and hipped ends, along with brick stacks at the ends. The layout consists of a three-room plan with an outshut at the rear. The end rooms have gable end stacks, and there is a cross-passage between the unheated central room and the right-hand room, which was originally the kitchen. The passage partition appears to be a later addition, while the left-hand room is a parlour that was added in the 18th century. The outshut is a 19th-century enlargement of an earlier structure.
The exterior is one storey with an attic and features an asymmetrical south front with three 20th-century three-light casements that have leaded panes. The attic windows are located in three gabled half dormers that extend through the eaves. There are doorways to the left and right of the centre, each with 20th-century open timber gabled porches; the right porch includes a 20th-century glazed door. At the rear, the main roof extends down as a catslide over the outshut, which has a brick lateral stack on the right.
Inside, the right-hand room contains a chamfered axial beam with a cyma stop at the inner end (now part of the passage), a large fireplace with a timber lintel that is covered over, a bread oven with an iron door, and a niche believed to be for drying grain. The central room features a chamfered axial beam with cyma stops, unchamfered joists, and 20th-century stairs. The left-hand room has two thin chamfered cross-beams, a large corner cupboard with fielded panel doors, and a simple wooden chimneypiece with a bead-moulded arris. In the attic, the tie-beam and queen post trusses are exposed and rest on unjowled storey posts. The box framing is visible both internally and externally, showcasing regular square panels and some tension braces.
