Description

Moorland, Moorlands, Fernlea and No 56 is a row of cottages that likely originated in the 17th century but underwent extensive alterations in the mid-19th century. The cottages are finished in roughcast over rubble and feature double Roman tiled roofs that decrease in height, with a half-hipped right side and overhanging eaves supported by sprockets. There is a brick stack set in from the left gable end, along with two brick and stone stacks rising at the rear.

The layout consists of one and two-cell cottages with additions at the rear. The buildings are one and a half storeys tall, with outer blocks that are separately roofed and unlit on the first floor. The central facade has five windows, with four dormers positioned below the eaves. The ground floor primarily features two-light mixed wood and metal ogee-headed casements, some retaining original leading. To the left of the gabled entrance is a two-light window with a plank door, and a 20th-century window with a side-light that may have replaced an earlier door, flanked by two-light windows. There is a similar 20th-century door with a small light beyond it.

The end block has a half-hipped, two-storey porch made of red sandstone random rubble, with a two-light window on the first floor that jetties out over cambered head openings to the porch, which is blocked on the left return. The porch features a plank door. The right return jetties out on corbels, with a three-light oriel window above and a four-light casement below, both having ogee-headed lights similar to those in the rear wing. The ground floor is only lit to the right of a clay-tiled lean-to porch.
