Description
Southmoor Farmhouse is a farmhouse, now a house, dating from the early to mid 18th century. It is constructed of uncoursed limestone rubble and features a gabled and hipped 20th-century tile roof, with ridge and end external stacks made of stone finished in brick. The building is designed in an L-shape with a front right wing and has two storeys plus an attic, with a three-window range. There are timber lintels over a blocked doorway and 19th-century six- and eight-pane sash windows.
The wing, which projects from the right bay of the front, is also made of limestone rubble and has stone slate roofs, with a 20th-century door located in the left side wall. The main range includes a blocked doorway at the rear and a later 18th-century outshut to the right.
Inside, the left room features a chamfered and stopped beam and a bressumer over an open fireplace. The central room has a similar bressumer over a large open fireplace and a mid-19th-century staircase that incorporates a re-used early 18th-century section of turned balusters on a closed string. The first floor has chamfered and stopped quartered beams on the right side. The roof is a four-bay collar-truss design with clasped and butt purlins.
