Description
Moor House Farmhouse is a Grade II listed building that originally served as two hall houses, dating from the early 14th century and early 15th century, with extensions from the 16th century and alterations made in the late 20th century. The structure features a timber frame with sections of brick and painted rendered infill, topped with old tile gabled roofs of varying heights. It has a U-shaped plan, consisting of four framed bays in the main section, with two additional two-framed bay projections on the north side and a brick and timber extension on the south.
The farmhouse is two storeys high and has two chimneys, one of which has coupled diamond shafts and offsets on a rectangular base. The entrance front faces west and displays exposed timber framing with painted render infill. Windows from the 19th and 20th centuries are scattered throughout, featuring casement designs with glazing bars. On the right side of the entrance, there is a gable bay with a two-light window on the first floor and a three-light window on the ground floor. The left section includes two two-light windows on the first floor and one three-light window on the ground floor, accompanied by a 20th-century plank door and a hipped roof porch on the right. A 20th-century brick extension is set back on the right, featuring a gabled entrance porch and a plain door.
Inside, the timber frame is exposed, revealing a crown post collar roof in the two western framed bays, which includes two plain crown posts still braced to the collar purlin, although one crown post is missing and all are sooted. The eastern two framed bays of the roof are also sooted but feature a redundant crown post roof. A notable interior feature is an 18th-century corner cupboard in the living room, which has a moulded frame and scalloped shelves.
