Description
Moor House Farmhouse is a house from the late 18th century, with earlier origins. It is built from hammer-dressed limestone and has a Welsh slate roof. The structure is likely a three-cell, single-storey farmhouse that has been significantly rebuilt to serve as an eyecatcher. The gable end faces the garden, featuring a three-storey central bay flanked by single-storey bays with attics beneath catslide roofs. The central bay projects forward and is accented with quoins. A continuous band runs at the ground-floor sill level to the outer bays. The windows include a replacement eight-pane sash in the central bay, flanked by blind niches, and eight-pane sashes in the outer bays. On the first floor, there is an eight-pane sash with blind niches, and oculi in the outer bay attics. The second floor features a two-light Yorkshire sash with blind niches. All windows, except for the oculi, have rock-faced architraves. The central and outer bays have gable coping and shaped kneelers, with stacks rising through the roof pitch. The entrance is located on the return wall.
Inside, the southern room has an inglenook fireplace with a cambered bressumer and a cupboard with butterfly hinges on the left side. There is a stop-chamfered ceiling beam, and cupboards on the west side of each room suggest the original position of a rear passage. The ground and first floors have squat four-fielded-panel doors on H-L hinges. The northern room features a keyed round-arched built-in corner cupboard with a fielded-panel door. The staircase has a close string with column-on-vase square-knop balusters.
