Moor Cottage

Moor Cottage is a house, likely originally two cottages, dating from the 18th century or earlier. It features roughcast on cob over rubble footings, with sections of rubble and brick, and has volcanic stone and cob stacks topped with brick. The roof is thatched and gabled at both ends. The building is two stories high with a four-room plan. There is a double lateral stack projecting from the right end of the front (west side) and a projecting gable-end stack to the left. The front has an irregular arrangement of three windows, which are 19th or 20th century timber casements, consisting of three- and two-light windows with three and six panes per casement, all located to the left of the two-phase stack, which is partly cob and mostly stone, patched with brick. The front door is roughly central, featuring an open-sided thatched porch supported by reused reproduction carved bed-posts. The house may have evolved from an earlier three-room and through passage plan but is more likely derived from a row of at least two cottages. The interior has not been inspected.
