Description

Number 1 Moorhead Cottages and the attached barn is a small farmhouse dating from 1719. The building features roughcast over stone with graduated slate and plain slate roofs, and has an L-shaped plan. The two-storey house consists of two rooms and has a front outshut that connects to a five-bay barn on the left.

The house has a doorway in the side of the front outshut with a chamfered surround and a dated lintel above it, although the window above is blocked. The main range to the right has a three-light chamfered mullioned window below a later two-light mullioned window. The front of the outshut is lit by a square casement window beneath a two-light mullioned window. There is a rendered ridge stack on the left and a large external stack with offsets on the right gable.

The barn features a waggon entrance on the left with a wooden lintel and has four principal-rafter trusses in its interior. At the time of the survey, the house was undergoing an extension into part of the barn, while the remainder of the barn was in separate ownership.
