Description

Moat Farmhouse is a house that dates from the 15th, 17th, and 18th centuries. It has a letter-L plan, typical of hall-and-crosswing houses, and is constructed with timber framing that is clad in 18th and 19th-century brick. The crosswing was extended to the north in the 17th century, where the ground floor is made of rubblestone, while the upper floor retains exposed timber framing with brick infill. The 18th-century east wing is built in brick, creating a letter-T plan. The house features old tile roofs and stands two storeys high, with the crosswing range including an attic.

The southeast entrance front has five bays, with the central bay featuring a gabled crosswing. There is a door located in a gabled open porch next to the crosswing, which is positioned where the screens passage used to be. Above the porch, there is a window, and to the left of the crosswing, there are three-light casement windows. Other windows include two-light and one four-light window on the ground floor of the right bay, along with an additional door. The windows are set under segmental arches. A large 17th-century stack is located behind the main door in the cross passage, featuring keeled pilaster strips on each face. The rear elevation has a door that corresponds with the front door, and it includes irregular casements and sashes. The gable of the 17th-century crosswing bay is timber framed, while the other gables are brick above a band course.

Inside, the hall range contains two 15th-century trusses with chamfered and stopped tie beams, arch-braced queen struts, and collars. The roof has a single purlin with large curved braces. The crosswing features chamfered and stopped spine beams and cross beams, and the 17th-century crosswing bay includes straight braces in the framing.
