Description
Moretons, Great Moretons, and Moretons End is a Grade II listed building originally constructed as a single house, though it has been divided into three separate units. The main structure is a two-storey building from the mid to late 19th century, featuring two parallel high-pitched roofs covered in slate and stone-coped Dutch gable ends facing the road. There is a subsidiary half-gable over the entrance on the left. The building is made of red brick with blue headers, stone quoins, and a high plinth.
The ground floor has long casement windows with stone block jambs and flat arches that include raised keystones. The entrance has a modern Georgian style. A red brick wall with a dentil cornice connects to Great Moretons, which dates back to the early 18th century and is also two storeys tall with five windows. The interior may be older than the exterior suggests.
The roof of Great Moretons is high-pitched and half-hipped on the left, featuring three pedimented dormers, a compound ridge stack, and a chimney at the right end. A heavy moulded wood parapet cornice is supported by end pilasters made of blue headers with red brick quoins. The front wall is primarily constructed of blue headers, with red brick dressings that include a first-floor band and flat, gauged window arches. The 19th-century sash windows have vertical bars, and there is a two-storey canted bay on the right side.
The central entrance features a prostyle Roman Doric porch with a mutule cornice, which is now enclosed. The rear elevation maintains a similar appearance to the front but is of 19th-century design. Moretons End, located on the left return from Great Moretons, features an early 19th-century half-octagonal bay under a low-pitched hipped slate roof. The wall is made of blue headers with red brick dressings, and the first floor has a central sash window with glazing bars, while the right window is blocked. The ground floor has two replaced sash windows with bars and a door on the left. The left end is covered by a linking wall to a modern two-storey, two-window extension made of red brick, which incorporates re-used 19th-century casements.
