Moat House, Grade II* listed mansion in Sutton Coldfield, England

The red brick mansion on Lichfield Road features stone dressings, a balustraded parapet, and a central round arch supported by Doric columns.

William Wilson, a student of Sir Christopher Wren, constructed the Moat House in 1680 for his wife Jane Pudsey, who previously owned Langley Hall.

The building demonstrates the architectural preferences of late 17th-century English gentry through its Jacobean style and three-floor structure.

The Moat House currently functions as offices for the Urban Village Group, with the original gatehouse and stone bridge remaining accessible.

A stone sundial remains attached to the side of the building, marking time as it has done since the mansion's construction in the 1680s.
