Moat Farmhouse

Moat Farmhouse is a farmhouse that is moated on three sides, dating from around 1600. It has two storeys and attics in the main house, with a small extension on the left that is 1½ storeys and dated 1841. The building is timber-framed and rendered, with black glazed pantiles, and it was formerly thatched. The basic layout is a three-cell form, featuring an internal chimney stack and a cross-entry. The internal stack has a large square red brick shaft with a corbelled head and chimney pots, along with a smaller similar stack on the right gable.

The upper floor has four windows and one blank space, while the ground floor has three windows, all of which are old casements with transoms, in both two-light and three-light configurations. There is a 19th-century porch made of matching materials, featuring fluted bargeboards, a spike finial, and a four-panelled door. The interior is plain, with much of the framing covered. On the left side, one bay has wide flat plain joists and a chamfered main beam on the ground floor. The roof has stepped butt purlins with pared-off ends and an upper row of clasped purlins. Old plank doors can be found in the attics. The internal stack may have been inserted into an early smoke bay.
