Moat Farmhouse

Moat Farmhouse is a house dating back to the 16th century, with later additions, originally timber-framed and now faced with painted stucco, likely over brick. The roof is tiled, and it has two brick stacks in the centre and a projecting chimney at the southwest end. The house was originally designed with a hall and a cross wing, featuring a stair projection in the angle, and later kitchens were added to the northeast end.

The northwest front (the entrance front) has a modern open porch in the centre, two 19th-century casement windows to the left, one to the right, and three first-floor casement windows. There is also a modern dormer window. The stair projection has a three-light casement window on the ground floor and a two-light attic window. The gable of the cross wing is set back on the right, with a two-light casement window on the ground floor and a three-light window on the first floor; the gable is tile-hung. Both gables have cast iron plates displaying the Rothschild motto.

The garden front features a gabled cross wing on the left, a central open oak-framed porch, two gabled semi-dormer windows, two four-light casement windows, French doors to the right, and a gabled kitchen wing on the far right, with a single-storey modern addition extending beyond.

Inside, doors on each front open onto a cross passage. On the first floor, a heavy braced cambered tiebeam with arch-braced collar of what was originally an open central truss is still visible. A section of moulded post remains on the northwest side of the truss, with a solid moulded brace to the first-floor beam. A large chimney stack is located between the cross passage and the central truss, incorporating an inglenook in the central ground-floor room. Reused 17th-century run-through panelling is found in this room, as well as in a south-facing room on the first floor of the cross wing.
