Description
Moor Street House is a farmhouse located on Moor Street in Gillingham, dating from the mid to late 18th century, with an extension added in the early 19th century. The building is constructed of Flemish bond brick and features gable and ridge stacks, topped with a tiled roof that is half hipped at the rear.
The house has a two-room plan with a rear extension and stands two storeys high, showcasing a five-window range. It is double-fronted and has a corbelled eaves cornice. The left-of-centre doorway is framed with an architrave and flat canopy, leading to a six-panel door with a three-pane overlight above. The windows have segmental arched heads and are fitted with 6/6-pane sashes. The gables include a two-centre arched attic casement positioned behind the stack.
To the left, there is a 19th-century wing that consists of a two-window range with an end lean-to. This wing has an off-centre entrance with a six-panel door, a top pair of glazed windows with a flat canopy, and ground-floor tripartite sashes alongside first-floor mullion casements. The rear of the front range features a large hipped stair tower and a small dormer with a cambered head.
Inside, the house includes a collar truss roof and a dogleg stair. The asymmetrical arrangement of the front windows and entrance, along with the large stair tower, suggests that the house may have been built earlier than its current dating, although no definitive evidence has been found to support this theory.
