Description

Moor House is a farmhouse dating from the early 17th century, with later additions and alterations. It features a timber frame with rendered and painted brick infill set on a rubblestone and brick plinth, with some brick replacement on the front ground floor, which is painted in black and white to imitate traditional styles. The building has a concrete tile roof and is arranged in an L-plan, consisting of a hall range with two framed bays and a two-bay cross-wing that projects to the rear. The hall range is one storey and an attic, while the cross-wing is two storeys.

The framing includes square and rectangular panels, with three panels from the cill to the wall-plate and short straight braces on the rear gable of the cross-wing. The roof structure features collar and tie beam end trusses, with the rear gable having upper and lower collars and V-struts from the upper collar. The front gable has intersecting bracing, and there are V-struts from the collar to the gable end of the hall range, although the tie beam has been removed.

The windows are late 20th-century casements, with one on each floor of the front gable of the cross-wing and two on the ground floor of the hall range, which also has two contemporary gabled eaves dormers on each side. A late 20th-century neo-Georgian door is located at the far right of the hall range. A large external lateral stepped brick stack on the right wall of the cross-wing has been rebuilt in late 20th-century red brick. There is also an integral lateral rubblestone stack on the back wall of the hall range, which previously had a projecting bread oven that has been removed.

Inside, the timber frame is exposed on both the ground and first floors, including square panels on the cross wall of the cross-wing. The ground floor features chamfered ceiling beams and a large partly infilled inglenook fireplace in the cross-wing. The first floor reveals collar and tie beam trusses, with the centre truss of the cross-wing displaying V-struts from the collar. At the rear, there is a full-length late 20th-century brick and timber lean-to, which is not of special architectural interest.
