Description
Moor End Cottage is a 18th-century cottage located in East Woolrington. It is constructed of cob with some rubble and rough plaster, and it has a colourwashed, half-hipped straw-thatched roof. A tall brick chimney, likely from the 19th century, is situated at the rear lateral stack. The cottage has a two-room plan, featuring a larger kitchen on the left, which is heated by a rear lateral fireplace that includes an oven. The smaller room on the right is unheated, and there is a direct entry to the kitchen at the front.
The cottage is two storeys high with irregular fenestration. The front has 2- and 3-light 19th-century casement windows with single horizontal glazing bars. The end elevation facing the roadside has mid-20th-century windows inserted on each floor, also with glazing bars, and there is a large late 20th-century porch with a flat roof to the left of the front. At the rear, there is a 20th-century brick lean-to added to the outshut. The cottage is likely an example of a squatters dwelling on unclaimed wasteland.
