Moorlake Farmhouse

Moorlake Farmhouse is a house, formerly a farmhouse, dating from the early to mid-17th century, with older elements. It is constructed of plastered cob on rubble footings, featuring cob stacks topped with 19th-century brick and a thatched roof. The building is long and two-storeys high, with three rooms on the ground floor and four on the first floor. There is a gable stack on the right (east) side and an axial stack to the left of the center, heating the rooms in between.

The farmhouse has two front doors: the right door leads to a through passage between two heated rooms, while the left door opens into a large western room, which serves as an agricultural store and is isolated from the main house. The roof is hipped on the left side. The fenestration is irregular, with one 19th or 20th-century casement window in each domestic room. The main door is accompanied by a 20th-century porch that has a thatched, hipped roof.

The house consists of two builds. The earlier part on the left (west) end is separated from the main early to mid-17th-century build by a solid cob wall, which is only pierced at the first-floor level. The main house has a two-room plan with a through passage in between. The larger room, known as the 'hall', is located to the west of the passage, and its western cross wall features a blocked cob fireplace and a newel stair. The ceiling beams in both rooms are chamfered with scroll stops, while the beam in the older store-room has step stops. Additionally, oak-mullioned windows and a cob wall from an early outshut are still present at the rear, although much of the early structure is concealed.
