Moat Farmhouse

Moat Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early 17th century. It is timber framed and plastered, with the ground floor of the facade covered in colourwashed brick. The rear has a weatherboarded gable end. The roof is plaintiled at the front and pantiled at the rear. The building has two storeys and an attic, designed in a two-cell, lobby entry style, with the left cell extending to the rear as a short wing.

There are 19th-century casement windows, with two on the ground floor and three on the first floor. A 19th-century gabled porch features a six-panel door, where the upper two panels are glazed, and has fretted bargeboards. The lower part of the stack is original, with an oblong base and four truncated shafts arranged in a sawtooth pattern, featuring double roll moulds at the base; above this is a plain 19th-century shaft.

Inside, the farmhouse has been Victorianized, but plain studding is visible on the first floor, along with evidence of many original windows. The right-hand chamber had a continuous row of four windows, alternating between deep and shallow. Both ground floor rooms have ovolo bridging beams, with the joists largely concealed. There is a newel stair leading to the first floor and a solid-tread stair to the attic. The roof structure includes one row of clasped purlins and one-way cranked wind bracing. The house is surrounded by a medieval moat.
