Description
Moor House is a house dating from around 1800. It is timber framed and weather-boarded, topped with a plain tiled roof. The building has two storeys set on a brick plinth, featuring a paired modillion eaves cornice on its hipped roof. Stacks project from the left and right ends, as well as from the rear.
The front facade includes two 2-storey canted bays with glazing bar sash windows, along with a central glazing bar sash window on the first floor. A panelled door is located in a hipped 20th-century porch, which has a sash sidelight and a flat hood supported by brackets.
On the left side, there is an extended hipped wing that features a glazing bar sash window, a wooden casement, and a tripartite glazing bar sash on the first floor. The ground floor has two tripartite glazing bar sashes and a glazed door, all set on a high brick base, along with a wooden verandah that has wooden railings.
