Description

Moat Farmhouse is a house located on a moated site, originally built in the 16th century and re-fronted in the late 17th century. The structure is timber framed and covered with red brick, topped with a plain tiled roof. It has two storeys and an attic, sitting on a plinth with a discontinuous plat band and boxed eaves. The roof features kneelered gables, three hipped dormers, and triple lozenge set stacks at both ends. The windows are arranged regularly, with five cross windows on the first floor and four on the ground floor. The central entrance door consists of six raised and fielded panels, topped with a rectangular fanlight that contains a stained glass Coat of Arms of Thomas Stoughton, dated 1575, and is adorned with a moulded shallow pedimented hood. To the left, there is a hipped 18th-century outshot that has one hipped wooden casement, while a catslide outshot extends to the rear. Inside, the house reportedly features a full frame, a clasped purlin roof, and mullioned windows with ovolo mullions.
