Description

Moorbrook Cottage is a house that likely dates from the early 19th century and has had some minor additions. It features roughcast solid walls, probably made of granite rubble, and a slated roof. The right-hand gable wall has a large projecting granite chimneystack with offsets, while the left gable has a smaller rendered stack. The cottage has a single-depth plan and stands two storeys tall, with a three-window front and a roughly central doorway. The windows are casement style with glazing bars.
