Description

Morham Mains is a substantial farmhouse built around 1840, featuring a rectangular plan and a classical frontage. The building is constructed of rubble red sandstone with ashlar dressings on the sides and rear, while the south front is finished in cream ashlar, complete with a base and cill course, cornice, and blocking course.

The south elevation has three widely spaced bays, with the center bay slightly advanced. This bay includes a corniced and pilastered doorpiece, a round arched doorway with a deep-set door and a decorative fanlight. The flanking bays at ground level have large windows, while each bay on the first floor has smaller windows.

The east and west elevations also feature three bays, with the two southern bays slightly advanced. The ground floor on the south side has a window to the right, and there are two first-floor windows above. The north elevation has five bays, with irregular ground floor bays that include a doorway to the left, which has been altered, flanked by a window. There is a piend-roofed outbuilding projecting to the right, alongside a larger window. The first floor has regular bays, featuring a round arched stair window at the center, flanked by windows in each bay. The sash and case windows have a 12-pane glazing pattern. The roof is covered with grey slates and features corniced stacks. Additionally, there is a rubble retaining wall adjoining the house.
