Farmhouse. Late C16, with a later C17 extension. 2 storeys; attic to part. Timber-framed and plastered, faced in colour-washed brick; clay pantiles. An end chimney-stack on the right set within the frame, and an extension at a lower level beyond it. Various C20 cross windows. Entrance door with 6 sunk panels, the top 2 glazed.

The upper ceilings in the older part of the house are original, also with joists set flat. The roof is in short bays, with 2 rows of butt purlins, cambered collars and a deep, narrow ridge-piece. The moat which gives the farm its name has been completely filled in since the last War.
