The Moat is a charming grade II listed country house, beautifully positioned, being surrounded by its own moat. The oldest part comprises a 15th century Wealden Hall House of timber framed construction with part timber and part colour wash elevations to the front. To the rear there have been substantial 20th century additions in the Georgian style of brick construction, all under a tiled roof.

The present owner has spent a lot of time, money and effort restoring The Moat including reinstating the moat which is a particular feature of this magnificent property. The present owner has also tried to piece together the original estate, by buying further land to the north and east of the property, which has created an exceptional small estate which now extends to about 110 acres.

Internally the property retains many of its original features, such as exposed ceiling and wall timbers, including a king post in the second floor main bedroom, and wide flanked stripped floors. There are ornate fireplaces, attractive brick and flagstone flooring to the ground floor, quality solid oak doors, cupboards and staircases and leaded light windows to the front elevations as well as some multi-paned Georgian style sash windows to the rear.

To the north of the house is the unique exhibition building and car museum together with associated buildings considered suitable for a number of alternative hobby, leisure, recreational or storage uses subject to planning permission. In addition, there is a detached English Heritage style Coach House with garaging for four cars and planning permission for staff flat over.

In all about 110 acres.
