Description
Moor Hall is a farmhouse that dates back to the 16th or 17th century, with additions and alterations made in the 18th century and mid-to-late 19th century. The building features a timber frame that has been refaced or rebuilt and extended using coursed limestone rubble, which is partly painted and rendered. It has a slate and corrugated asbestos roof that is hipped to the southwest. The house has an irregular U-plan layout, likely with a former hall and flanking gabled cross wings, and consists of one storey and an attic.
On the southwest front, there is a brick ridge stack that is off-centre to the right, along with an external stone lateral stack to the right that has two truncated diamond brick shafts. The large central full dormer features a 19th-century wooden cross window and scalloped barge boards, while to the left is a 19th-century gabled eaves-dormer with a two-light casement and scalloped barge boards. The central section has a three-light 20th-century casement, and there is a half-glazed segmental-headed door off-centre to the left, along with a boarded door off-centre to the right that has a gabled porch. A blocked window on the southeast side has a gauged brick segmental head with a keystone.
At the rear, the central former hall range has raised eaves, a two-light 19th-century wooden casement on the first floor, and a fire window to the left on the ground floor, flanked by projecting gabled wings. Inside, there are chamfered beams with ogee stops and a large open fireplace in the former hall range. The southeast cross wing features an early 18th-century staircase with three flights and landings, a rectangular well, turned balusters on the short flight and landing, moulded newel posts, and a dog gate at the foot with splat balusters shaped to resemble barley sugar balusters. There is also a six-panelled door on the ground floor and a plank and muntin door on the first floor, likely from the 17th century.
