Moat House

Moat House is a Grade II listed building located on Burgh Boulge Road, originally built as a farmhouse in the early 18th century. The structure is timber framed, finished with colourwashed render, and has a pantile roof. It stands two storeys high with an attic and features a near-symmetrical entrance front with five bays.

On both the ground and first floors, there are sash windows with 3x4 panes, wooden sills, and exposed weight boxes. The front door, located in the second bay from the right, is sheltered by a Tuscan porch supported by timber piers with entasis on fluted brick bases. The porch has panelled pilaster responds, a plain entablature, and a flat felted roof dating from the 20th century. A panelled wooden cornice runs along the eaves. The roof is adorned with three 20th-century dormer windows, each with two lights and flat roofs. A chimney stack with four flues is positioned at the left ridge.

The right flank of the house features sash windows with 3x4 panes on the left, while the right side has a slightly battered wall with two sash windows of 3x2 panes. The first floor includes two 3x2 pane windows on the left, a 3x4 pane window near the centre, and another 3x2 pane window at the far right. In the attic, there is a central gable window with two lights, flanked by shorter windows of similar design. The left end of the building has a 20th-century brick addition, a half-glazed doorway, and a sash window with 3x4 panes. The first floor features two 2-light casements and a dormer window in the attic with 5x3 panes.

At the rear, there is a projecting wing on the left with a 20th-century hipped roof and modern fenestration, along with a 20th-century addition that extends across the entire rear and projects slightly on the right.

Inside, the ground floor showcases chamfered ceiling beams and encased beams, with close studding visible on one wall dating from the 18th century. The attic timbers were originally arch-braced.
