Description
Castlemoor is a farmhouse dating from the early 17th century, with alterations and extensions made in the early 19th century. The building features a timber frame constructed with small square framing, five panels high, and includes two tiers of long straight tension braces. The early 19th-century brick nogging complements the 17th-century wattle and daub infill. The gable walls and most of the front wall have been replaced with coursed limestone rubble and brick quoins from the early 19th century. The roof is gabled and covered with old tiles, and there is an integral brick eaves stack on the right side.
The south front of the farmhouse is three stories high and has a three-window range. It features segmental stone arches over two doorways on the left, with brick segmental arches above a 20th-century two-light casement on the ground floor to the right and a 19th-century two-light casement on the first floor to the left. Each floor has three additional 19th-century two-light casements with leaded lights. To the left, there is a single-storey gabled projecting service wing made of early 19th-century stone rubble. The stone rubble gable ends have brick gables, with a 19th-century two-light casement at each floor, both featuring brick or stone segmental arches. The left side's ground-floor lintel is part of a former girding beam, and the right gable apex has a reset ashlar plaque inscribed with "EB MB 1652."
At the rear, there is a projecting two-storey extension from the early 19th century made of English garden wall bond brick. To the left, a small projecting brick-tiled gabled porch leads to a range of square framing behind, which includes 19th-century two-light casements.
Inside, the farmhouse has a single trenched-purlin roof supported by two internal trusses, which consist of a tie beam, vertical struts, a collar, and twin raking struts. There is an interrupted tie beam with vertical posts and a collar. The bridging beams are chamfered with stepped concave chamfered stops. A large fireplace features a bracketed early 19th-century mantelshelf, an ashlar surround, and a cast-iron range.
