Description

Moor Farmhouse, formerly known as Manor Farmhouse, is a farmhouse dating from around 1500, with alterations and additions made in the mid-19th century. It features a timber-framed structure with painted brick and rendered infill, as well as brick replacement walling and additions, all topped with plain tiled roofs. The building has a hall and cross-wing plan, with the hall consisting of two framed bays aligned north to south. A large chimney with 19th-century blue brick capping and cogged detail is inserted into the through-passageway at the south end. The lower end cross-wing, which originally had an entrance from the passageway, also consists of two framed bays.

The farmhouse is two storeys tall with an attic. The framing includes a single row of close-set studding on each floor, while the upper end of the hall has a jettied first floor supported by large brackets. The ground floor framing of the cross-wing has been replaced by brick. The trusses in the building include collar and tie-beam trusses with close-set struts, except for the front truss of the cross-wing, which has two collars and three struts to the lower collar, with the outer struts being raking and a central single strut to the upper collar.

On the west front elevation, the main part of the farmhouse features a 3-light casement window, along with a 2-light and a single-light casement window adjacent to each other on the ground floor. There are two 2-light casements on the first floor. The gable end of the cross-wing has a 3-light casement and a small square window on the ground floor, a 3-light casement on the first floor, and a small attic light. The main entrance is now located on the south side of the cross-wing, featuring a half-glazed door with plank weathering. Inside, the main ceiling beams are stop-chamfered. The hall was originally open to the roof, and at the upper end, there is a small ground floor parlour with a jettied first floor chamber. There are also 19th and 20th-century single-storey additions at the rear.
