Description

Moorwood Cottage is a late 16th-century cottage that has undergone significant alterations over time. It was refronted and an outshut added in the 18th century, and further extended to the east in 1979. The building is timber-framed, with portions of the ground floor constructed of red brick and a partial brick outshut to the south; the remainder is weatherboarded. It has a tiled roof, half-hipped to the east, and a brick chimneystack at the west end. It was likely originally a two-bay end chimney-stack house. The cottage has two storeys and two windows to the north. It features 20th-century casement windows and a plank door with a flat hood supported by brackets. The south elevation includes the outshut and 20th-century dormers.

Inside, the dining room has a roll-moulded spine beam and exposed floor joists. There is an open fireplace with a wooden bressumer, a cupboard door with a latch, and a plank door next to the fireplace leading to an 18th-century winder staircase. The ground floor contains both 16th-century and 18th-century framing, with diagonal bracing and rough timbers in the old dairy. The first floor reveals late 16th or early 17th-century framing and a three-plank door with pintle hinges.
