Description
Moorside Cottage is a cottage positioned at a right angle to the road, which was originally two separate cottages. It is likely from the 18th century and underwent alterations around 1980. The exterior features roughcast over rubblestone, with a concrete double-Roman tile roof on the left side and a pantile roof on the right. The building has a three-unit plan and includes 20th-century windows and doors. The roof on the left side has been raised, and the rear left corner curves to follow the line of the road. The interior has not been inspected but is noted to have been altered.
