Description
Moat House is a former rectory dating from around 1830, located on Church Road in Warboys. The building is constructed of gault brick and features a low-pitched hipped slate roof with a parapet. It is two storeys high, with the main elevation consisting of two bays and a slightly recessed central bay. The façade includes three windows with hung sashes that have slender glazing bars, all set within moulded stone architraves. The ground floor has three similar windows, each with moulded stone console brackets supporting the architraves. A central porch made of stone ashlar, topped with a hipped slate roof, provides the entrance and is flanked by paired pilasters with a plain entablature.
To the north, there is an adjoining service wing, also built of gault brick with a slate roof. This wing features flat arches over a range of three hung sashes with glazing bars. To the east of the house is an orangery, constructed of gault brick and rendered. It has semi-circular headed arches that accommodate four full-length sashes with glazing bars and fixed leaded lights featuring radiating glazing bars. The orangery also has a central glazed double doorway in a similar arch.
