Moat House is a Grade II* listed building situated in Lichfield Road, Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands. It is part of the Anchorage Road conservation area.[1]
The property was designed and built in 1680 as a mansion house by William Wilson, builder, architect and student of Sir Christopher Wren, as a home for his new wife, a wealthy local widow Jane Pudsey[2] who had previously owned Langley Hall with her first husband.
The original gatehouse or lodge, itself a Grade II listed building, and stone bridge remain but no traces of the 'moat' remain. The moat survived until 1860, until which it had to be crossed by a small stone bridge.[3] A sundial is attached to the side of the building.[4]
The property was occupied by the adjacent Sutton Coldfield College.[5]
The Moat House is now the home of Urban Village Group.
