Description
Moorstock House is a farmhouse, now a house, dating from the late 17th century. It is constructed of red and grey brick in Flemish bond and features a plain tile roof. The building has a lobby entry plan and stands two storeys high on a galleted stone plinth, topped with a hipped roof and a central multiple brick ridge stack. The front has a regular arrangement of three windows, consisting of two 3-light and one central 2-light casement. The ground-floor windows have segmental heads, and there is a central half-glazed door. There are 19th and 20th-century additions to the rear and to the right, with red brick on the ground floor and tile-hung above. The interior has been only partly inspected, revealing bead-moulded joists in the right-hand ground-floor room, a cambered fireplace bressumer, and a 17th-century moulded rectangular wooden architrave in the left ground-floor room.
