Chailey Moat

Chailey Moat is a moated building with a complex history, dating partly to the 16th century. The rear section is timber-framed with casement windows, though it has been refaced with red brick having grey headers on the ground floor and is tile-hung above. The front elevation was added in the 18th century by Reverend Richard Porter, who was Rector from 1713 to 1753. This front consists of a central section flanked by two projecting wings, each with a hipped roof. The central first-floor window is Venetian, topped by a pediment that breaks the roofline. A projecting cornice sits above the doorway located directly below the Venetian window. Sash windows with original glazing bars are present, along with Venetian shutters. There are five windows across the front. Inside, the building retains 16th-century panelling and an 18th-century staircase.
