Moat House

Moat House is a large detached house with an early 17th century core that has been extensively altered in the early 19th century, likely by John Buckle. The original core is built of stone, while the 19th century alterations are in brick, and the exterior is now mostly rendered. The house features an entrance front and a left-hand return, topped with a slate roof that has both ashlar and brick stacks. The building has a 'U'-shaped plan and stands two storeys high with an attic.

The entrance front has a 1:3:1 window arrangement, with gables projecting forward on the right and left sides. It includes single-light, two, three, and five-light hollow-chamfered stone-mullioned casements, which are likely 19th century replacements, fitted with leaded panes and stopped hoods. At the rear, there is a 19th century fielded six-panel door located behind a flat-roofed open-sided porch that is off-centre to the left. The left-hand return has three windows, featuring 16-pane sashes, and a 20-pane sash set within a pointed surround with a pointed stopped hood at the centre of the ground floor. A similar pointed surround and hood is found above a 16-pane sash on the first floor. The ground floor windows have stopped hoods, and there is a band between the ground and first floors. The house has axial stacks, including a large projecting ashlar stack with offsets at the rear left.

Although the interior is not accessible, the Victoria County History notes that there is a two-storey stone hall block dating from around 1600, which shows signs of a screens passage at the west end. This range likely extended further west and had a cross wing to the east. The house is situated on a moated site.
