Moorgate Cottage

Moorgate Cottage is a building with one main storey and an attic storey, constructed of pebbledashed rubble. It features a renewed Roman tile roof with a steep pitch and swept eaves, along with two rendered gable stacks on the left side. The cottage has two windows, both renewed, with one being enlarged. The central doorway on the main gable was replaced in the 19th century, and there are battered plinth courses.

Inside, the cottage has two rooms divided by a stud and panel partition, with two enlarged doors suggesting it was previously subdivided for use as a dairy and buttery, each room having its own window. There are four stone corbels on the gable wall, and the beams are chamfered and stopped. The fireplace in the main room is partly blocked by a modern boiler. A passage separates this room from a steep curved stone stair stack with wooden treads and risers, which was formerly lit by a now-blocked window. There is also a blocked doorway in the gable wall.

The upper floor is now divided by a lath and plaster partition and has plank and ledge doors. The smaller room is dominated by a chimney stack with offsets. In the larger room, behind a later fireplace surround, there is a wooden lintel with chamfer and diagonal stops, along with a late 18th century or early 19th century hob grate. The principals of the roof truss are visible, and the roof contains three trusses with collars and two trenched purlins, with lath and plaster ceilings.
