Description
Lower Moor is a house dating from the 16th century. It features a painted timber frame with painted brick infill on a concrete plinth, and partly painted brick underbuilding. The roof is covered with plain tiles and has projecting bargeboards with ovolo mouldings. A large rubble stone stack with tiled offsets and a 19th-century panelled brick shaft with an ornamental cap is located at the eaves.
The building has a two-bay framed range with a rear wing. It is two stories tall with an attic and includes a single-storey wing. The entrance door, which is from the 20th century, is located in the single-storey rear wing to the right. The framed gable end to the left features square framing that is four panels high, with posts, middle rails, and two tiers of tension braces. There is a ground-floor casement window, and at the first-floor level, there is a projecting bressumer with beaded triple-ovolo moulding. The jowled corner post has a residual carved bracket supporting a slightly projecting wall plate. The gable-end truss includes a straight tie beam, four vertical struts, and double collars with raking struts, separated by a two-light casement.
On the south-east side, the square framing is four panels high with two tiers of tension braces, posts with middle rails, and studs. There are three first-floor windows with simple chamfered surrounds, each containing 20th-century casements. The left ground-floor window has a timber double ovolo- and cavetto-moulded surround, while the centre and right windows have single ovolo mouldings, all with 20th-century casements. A 20th-century door is also present.
The south-east gable end has framing underbuilt with brick up to the gable level, with only jowled posts and wall plate brackets remaining. The brick is painted to imitate framing at the first floor, and the gable framing is similar to that of the opposite gable.
On the north-west side, there is a projecting single-storey extension with a tiled roof made of stone. The framing above includes a jowled-foot post, tension brace, and a two-light casement set in a chamfered surround. In the centre, there is a projecting stepped stone stack, and to the right, the framing features a bressumer above imitation framing. A tension brace at the first floor supports a two-light casement set in a chamfered surround.
