Description
Abbot's Moor Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 15th century, which was remodeled in the mid-18th century and 19th century, with later additions and alterations primarily from the late 20th century. The building features painted brick and rubblestone that encase a timber-framed structure of cruck construction, topped with a slate roof.
Originally, the farmhouse had an open-hall design with at least two framed bays. During the mid-18th century, a first floor was inserted, and the eaves were raised. A two-storey gabled range was added to the west in the late 18th or 19th century, creating the current T-plan layout. The right end of the main range was previously used for agricultural purposes. The farmhouse stands two storeys high, with a floor band visible at the rear (road side) and the former roof pitch evident on the left gable end.
On the front, 19th-century casement windows are positioned directly below the eaves on both sides of the center, with two additional casements below to the left of a segmental-headed doorway. To the right of a roughly central late 20th-century lean-to brick porch, which has a half-glazed door on either side, is a wide 20th-century casement. The left first-floor window has had part of the porch's roof slope cut out for its installation. There is a segmental-headed boarded door leading to the former agricultural end. The farmhouse features a rebuilt red brick ridge stack at the center and a subsidiary stack on the front part of the roof slope to the far left.
At the rear, a two-storey gabled addition includes a 20th-century casement on each floor and has an external stack made of rubblestone and brick.
Inside, there is a massive central stack. The room to the right has an inserted ceiling with a chamfered spine beam and heavy joists. The timber-framed square-panelled wall to the right rests on a rubblestone plinth and appears to be the original right gable end. Three true cruck trusses are exposed on both the ground and first floors, featuring arch-braced collars.
