Description

Moat House is a house dating from the 17th century or earlier, with later alterations, and is surrounded by a moat. It is timber framed and plastered, featuring an exposed timber frame on the first floor. The roof is covered with red plain tiles. The house has two storeys and consists of three bays. There is a two-window range of 20th-century casements. A central enclosed 20th-century brick porch leads to a panelled door. Red brick chimney stacks are located on the left and right sides of the building.

It experiences an average of 32 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 58% of listed buildings. Of these, 16 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
