Description
Moss's Farmhouse is a house dating from the 16th century, with alterations made in the 20th century. It is timber framed and has a plastered exterior, topped with handmade red clay tiles. The building consists of a three-bay range that runs approximately north to south, featuring an axial chimney stack at each end. There is a two-bay south crosswing that jetties to the east, along with west extensions added in the 20th century. The farmhouse has two storeys, with four 20th-century casement windows on the ground floor and three on the first floor, all of which are diamond leaded. The south crosswing has a gablet roof, and the south stack has three grouped diagonal shafts that were rebuilt in the 19th century.
