Moat Farmhouse

Moat Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 16th century with 19th-century additions. It features a timber frame encased in 19th-century colourwashed brick and has a steeply-pitched pantiled roof, with black-glazed pantiles on the front elevation. The building is two storeys high and has an L-shaped cross-passage plan, with a three-window range. The windows are 2 and 3-light casements from the 19th and 20th centuries, and the ground floor openings have segmental heads. There is an off-centre axial chimney stack, and the entrance door, which is not opposite the stack, has six panels, with the upper pair being glazed. The gables have been rebuilt in brick with coped parapets, and there are casements in the north gable. To the west, there is a later brick service wing that features a brick dentil eaves course and a central chimney stack on the ridge line.

Inside, the cross passage remains, with one four-centred doorway leading to a service room at the north end. The bay to the south of the cross passage has an inserted 17th-century floor on a tie beam, with stepped run-out chamfer stops on the west side. The east wall may have been entirely rebuilt in brick. The roof contains three trusses with arch-braced tie beams that support jowled queenposts, with arch-braces to collars and purlins; the remainder of the roof structure is likely from the 17th century. The building was under extensive repair at the time of the survey.
