The Moor Farmhouse

The Moor Farmhouse comprises several phases of construction, beginning with a 17th-century range along the south-western garden front. An 18th-century block was added to the right end of this range, and around 1700, a further block was built to the north-east of the original 17th-century structure. Around 1928, the entrance front was altered by Frederick Cripps.

The 17th-century range has been refronted in brick, with the right bay constructed of flint and brick, and retains traces of main timber uprights. It has an old tile roof and a rebuilt brick chimney with attached shafts. The right-hand block is of flint with narrow brick dressings, a tiled roof, and flanking brick chimneys. The circa 1700 block to the front is of flint with tuck-pointed brick dressings, an old tile roof, and flanking brick chimneys. It has a first-floor band course, a wooden modillion eaves cornice, brick quoins, and vertical strips flanking the windows. The 1928 extensions to the left are also of flint and brick with parapets.

The house has a 20th-century conservatory in front of the right bays, with leaded glazing and a flat roof. The interior of the 17th-century wing reveals timber framing; the north bay features heavy longitudinal floor joists, and the adjacent bay has stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops. Central fireplaces in the 17th-century range and the circa 1700 block have bolection surrounds. A later brick porch with a 6-panelled door, a semi-circular wrought iron fanlight, and an 18th-century wooden doorcase—featuring reeded reveals, an open modillion pediment on Tuscan columns, a triglyph entablature, and moulded stone bases—is set back to the right. Rainwater heads are dated FVC 1928.
