Moat Farmhouse

Moat Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century, refurbished in the 18th century. It features a timber frame that has been replaced with brick at the front, while the rear outshut is constructed of flint with brick dressings. The roof is covered with pantiles and has a lobby entrance type plan. The building stands two storeys high with an attic. On the ground floor, there are two 18th-century three-light mullion and transom windows with metal casements, set beneath skewback arches with cambered soffits. Additionally, there are four later two-light casement windows. The doorway is located opposite the stack and is also beneath a skewback arch with a cambered soffit. The surviving wall plate of the timber frame is visible, along with shaped eaves sprockets and a shallow pitched 18th-century roof. The continuous outshut at the rear has a catslide roof. Inside, the surviving 17th-century frame at the rear includes original tie beams, and there is one exposed fireplace with a bressummer chamfer that continues onto brick jambs. The spinal bridging joists feature stepped chamfer stops.
