SHADINGFIELD TM 48 NW 1/26 Moat Farmhouse 1.9.53
GV II*
Farmhouse. Mid C16; small C19 brick wing to rear. Timber framed and plastered; pantiled roof with glazed black tiles to the front. 2 storeys and attic, with a jettied first floor to the front. 3 cell form, originally with cross-passage entry. Small-paned casement windows of C19. The timber frame is of high quality with heavy, very closely-spaced studwork throughout and with tension-bracing. Both hall and parlour have fine fully-moulded beam and joist ceilings, with run-out stops; the moulding is continued down the storey posts. In the hall the moulding stops at the position of the cross-passage, where there was once a screen. There are 2 good original windows on the first floor with chamfered mullions and evidence for others. The roof has 2 rows of unstaggered butt purlins, an early example of this type. At the time of survey the house was under gradual renovation, with the internal stack being rebuilt and the attic floor joists removed together with part of the first floor structure at the service end. The fine linenfold panelling once on the first floor is now in store and due to be eventually reinstated. Moated site.
