Moor Edge Farmhouse

Moor Edge Farmhouse is a former farmhouse dating from around 1500 or earlier, with later modifications. It is constructed of cob with a stone plinth, rendered, and features a half-hipped thatched roof. The original layout was a three-room, through-passage plan, although the lower end on the right side of the passage has been rebuilt since 1950. The building has two end stacks and two external rear lateral stacks and stands two storeys high.

The front of the farmhouse has scattered fenestration, including two doorways: one at the extreme left and the main doorway, which is set between two buttresses and features a thatched timber porch. There are three ground-floor windows and three first-floor windows, all with timber casement frames from the 20th century, and the lintels are positioned at eaves level.

At the rear, there are two entrances, one leading to the rebuilt lower end and the other opposite the front passage door, located to the left of the external lateral stack that heats the hall. The rear has five ground-floor two-light windows and three two-light windows on the first floor, all timber casements from the 20th century, along with one upper three-light window featuring timber casements with eight leaded panes in each light, dating from the late 18th to early 19th century.

Inside, the hall retains two plank and muntin screens. The screen on the passage side has unchamfered studs, with joists trenched into a bressumer, one of which is a reused moulded timber. The screen at the parlour end has chamfered studs with mason's mitres and step stops low down. The fireplace features a chamfered timber lintel and a stone back with various alcoves, while an axial beam has pyramid stops. The hall ceiling is positioned 12 inches above the floor level of the adjacent rooms. The roof consists of two jointed crucks with trenched purlins, with apexes morticed and side pegged, and a left-hand end hip cruck. The entire higher end is smoke blackened, and there is a later roof over the whole structure.
