Description
The Moor House is a mid-19th century house that has been converted into flats. It is constructed from rock-faced, coursed stone with smooth dressings and features a tiled roof with dressed verge parapets and finials. The building has a loosely Italianate design arranged in a 'U' shape that opens to the front.
The entrance elevation is two to three stories high and sits on a plinth. To the left is a gabled two-storey projection that was originally a service wing, while the entrance wing is to the right. The center is set back, featuring a gable to the left and a four-stage campanile set back to the right side. The campanile has buttresses, string courses at each stage, a dentil cornice, and a reduced two-light bell chamber topped with a pyramidal roof.
The windows are round-arched, some with transoms and corbel hoods above the gables. The set-back section includes three- and two-light windows, with two additional windows at the entrance and a range of two single lights in cavetto reveals at the campanile. The entrance features a flat-roofed single-storey tripartite porch that is balustraded and pilastered, with flanking sidelights and a round-arch entry leading to part-glazed doors. The house is situated in a commanding position within a parkland setting.
