Description
Moor House, dated 1878, is a two-storey, three-bay, L-plan quarry master's house that faces south towards the River Dee. It features upper breaking eaves and distinctive pedimented wallhead dormers, with the central dormer dated 1878 and adorned with a fleur-de-lis apex detail. The house has a late 19th-century single-storey outshot at the rear, which has a monopitch roof. The exterior is constructed of stugged, squared, coursed, and snecked granite.
The windows are 4-pane sash and case timber, and there is a boarded timber rear door with a glazed inset. The roof is grey slated with lead flashing, and the granite skews are tooled. The house has stugged, squared granite stacks featuring a simple cornice and octagonal clay cans, along with cast-iron rhones and rhone pipes.
Inside, Moor House retains some original features, including decorative plasterwork in the main reception room, 4-panel doors, and a timber staircase with timber balusters and handrail.
The boundary walls are made of stugged, squared, and snecked granite with bull-faced coping. The gatepiers are square and tooled, with narrow ashlar margins and bull-faced capitals topped with large ball finials. There is a wrought-iron gate and railings.
