Description
Moat Cottage is a house and cottage that were originally three cottages, dated 1876 on plaques. The building was extended around 1970 to 1980. The ground floor is made of red brick, while the first floor features half-timbering, some of which is painted, with whitewashed roughcast infill. It has a hipped tile roof with some fishscale patterning and rebuilt brick chimneys. The structure is two storeys high, with the upper level jettied on brackets and a moulded bressumer.
There are three original bays, with the outer bays slightly projecting and gabled. The ground floor has canted bay windows, and the first floor has three-light casements. The centre bay features a three-light transomed casement to the left of a half-glazed door, both with cambered heads, and a four-light casement above that slightly breaks into the eaves. There are flanking porches with single lights at the front; the left porch has been altered to include a casement, while the right porch has been modified to connect with a 20th-century matching gabled extension. Moat Cottage is part of a picturesque group of estate cottages built around The Green, now the Recreation Ground, for Hannah de Rothschild, and its style is influenced by the nearby work of George Devey at Ascott.
