Moonfleet

Moonfleet is a detached house that was originally a farmhouse, with an attached cottage and barn. It dates back to the 16th century, with the house being remodelled in the 17th century and the cottage and barn added in the 18th century. The property underwent significant restoration around 1980. The walls are made of rubble stone and flint, with some brick repairs, and incorporate fragments of reused dressed medieval stone, possibly from Milton Abbey, along with sections that are plastered. The roof is hipped and thatched, featuring one stone and one brick chimney stack on the ridge.

The house has a Z-shaped plan and consists of one storey and an attic. The original house, which is the central section, is positioned at right angles to the road and was originally a long-house with an open-hall form. It features an oak ledged door in a moulded stone surround inscribed "R.G.1695" and has a buttress to the left. The ground floor includes three casement windows with cast iron glazing and one with timber glazing bars. The attic has four half-dormers with 20th-century casements that have glazing bars.

The front range, which runs parallel to the road, includes the added 18th-century cottage, now part of the house, which was partly rebuilt around 1980. This section has rubble stone walls, some plastered, and a brick buttress, along with 20th-century doors and windows. There is a lean-to extension at the left end. The rear range, which was originally the barn, has been partly converted into residential accommodation.

Inside the original house, the main ground floor room features a large open fireplace with stone jambs, a timber lintel, and a bread oven. The ceiling has intersecting moulded beams that were inserted into the open hall in the 17th century. The rear room also has a large open fireplace with a timber lintel and a bread oven.
