Listed building that 'has an E front of five bays and two storeys, plus a pedimented third storey in the centre. This is by John Platt and was added in 1768 to an early C17 house of which much survives, notably the staircase.' Pevsner (1967, 421). John Platt II was commissioned in 1764 to provide 'stables & offices for Mr Tooker' at Moorgate Hall (Elliott 1998, 127). Munford (2000, 69-70) claims a house stood on this site in the late 16th century, belonging to William West, seneschal & chief steward for the Earl of Shrewsbury's South Yorkshire manors and legal advisor to the feoffees. His son sold the house to Charles Tooker in 1627. It remained a family home until 1986 when converted to offices. The Tookers of Moorgate Hall had steel furnaces nearby in the 17th century (probably cementation furnaces) and a smithy (Munford, 2000, 54-55). If any of the furnaces survive, the remains would be of importance. Moorgate Hall stood at the southern extremity of Rotherham, with the common grazing of Rotherham moor to the south until the mid 18th century. The enclosure map shows how the original Moorgate road stopped at the front of the house and was then extended in a semi-circle around it. Legibility invisible as there is no trace of earlier landscape characteristics.
