A programme of historic building recording of Moortown House, its listed sundial, tennis court, and several ranges of outbuildings and farm buildings was conducted to inform future proposals for the property. A single site visit alongside archival and desk-based research were undertaken as part of the survey. Moortown House is believed to have been built in the first decade of the 19th century, at least by 1815. A detached date stone from an unknown location was found within the garden, inscribed ‘1816’. The house underwent considerable alteration in circa 1938 with the demolition of the large north-west wing and alteration of the north elevation. The interior of the house was not assessed as part of the report as no works were planned for the house. The exterior was examined as part of the assessment. The house is a good example of a small country estate built in the early 19th century. Its design and detailing are typical of an early 19th century country house. Though there are some modifications and fabric changes, it generally retains its overall appearance, except at the north-west and north side of the house where the fabric and layout of the building has been significantly compromised by an intrusive modern brick alteration and extension. There is a walled garden to the west of the house, which was first depicted on the 1824 map. The map depicts a curved, tree-lined enclosure. By 1887 the garden housed two large glasshouses attached to the north wall. A further glasshouse was located within an enclosure on the north side of the north wall and two further buildings were attached to the north side of the north wall, perhaps to house heating apparatus for a heated wall and glasshouses. There is still evidence at ground level for the former large 19th century glasshouse that extended from the north wall perpendicular into the garden. The coach house range is located to the north-west of the main house and reflects the historical development of the house and farm complex and the extent of the working part of the estate with a long range of outbuildings believed to have been associated with stabling and the coach house, with possible cart sheds and granary at the south end. The originally was a large range of buildings that likely dated to the construction of the house pre-1815 or shortly afterwards. The cart shed range is located to the east of the main house and faces north onto the working farmyard area. The cart shed and surviving 19th century fabric of the range were one of few extant 19th century farm buildings on the site, as the majority have been demolished. The three large agricultural sheds have replaced the majority of the original 19th century farmyard. The garden layout of the house was designed in the mid-19th century, reputedly by Sir Joseph Paxton, and it overlays the early 19th century designed landscape. Alterations included the construction ofa ha-ga or fenced shallow ditch, a raised tennis law, and the extensive fish pond at the north-west corner of the site set within woodland forming part of the pleasure grounds for Moortown House. {1}
