Description
North Moreton House is a house dating from the early 16th century, which was restored by G.E. Street around 1858. The lower part of the house is built of red brick, with extensive timber framing and brick infill, and a complex roof of old plain tiles. The building has multiple brick stacks. It features a complex plan and is two storeys and an attic, originally with a three-window front. A 19th-century plank door is centrally positioned, with wrought iron hinges. The window arrangement is irregular, largely consisting of 19th-century casements and bay windows. Inside, a straight-flight staircase has a shaped wood balustrade. All rooms contain 19th-century four-panel doors with ornamental wood surrounds. The dining room on the left has a deeply moulded spine beam with run-out stops and massive joists alongside a 19th-century fireplace and a bay window with window seats. The kitchen, located to the rear on the left, includes a 19th-century cast iron bread oven and a chamfered spine beam. Both the study and sitting room on the right have 19th-century fireplaces, and the sitting room is fitted with 19th-century shutters and French windows with wrought-iron hinges. A 16th-century stone fireplace, with a Tudor arch and moulded surround, is located on the first floor to the left. The bedrooms at the rear have 19th-century arch-braced roofs. The building previously served as Rectory Farm, and then as the vicarage.
