Description
Moat House is a former farmhouse dating from the late 16th century. The building is two storeys high and features a timber-framed structure with plaster and a plain tiled roof. There is a chimney stack located on the rear wall. The front has a four-window range, with early 18th-century cross windows on the ground floor and two-light early 18th-century casements on the upper floor, all fitted with 20th-century square leaded panes. A late 19th-century gabled porch with a single Roman tile roof and open latticed sides is also present. At the rear, there is a small 1½-storey wing from the 17th century.
