Description
Low House and Number One Low Moorend are two houses dated 1681, with the initials C. & D.A. inscribed above the side entrance. The buildings have undergone 19th-century alterations. They are constructed from whitewashed mixed rubble resting on large projecting plinth stones, topped with a graduated greenslate roof and rebuilt stone chimney stacks. Each house is two storeys high and has two bays, although Number One Low Moorend features a lower roof line.
Low House includes one ground-floor chamfered stone-mullioned window with a small fire window to the right; all other windows are 20th-century replacements set in 19th-century surrounds. A side-gabled stone porch covers the entrance, which has a dated lintel. Number One Low Moorend has its own stone porch, an enlarged sash window to the right of the entrance, a smaller fire window to the extreme right, and small upper-floor windows in their original surrounds. There is a barn to the left, but it is not of interest.
