Moss Hall was built in 1616 for Hugh Massey,^[3] then owned by Edward Legh of Baguley Hall. It is timber-framed with rendered infill, and close studded with a middle rail to both floors. It is in two storeys with attics, and has a plain tile roof. The entrance front has five bays with four gables. The house is nearly symmetrical, is E-shaped, and is set on an ashlar plinth. In its centre is a two-storey gabled porch wing, which is a later addition. The first floor is jettied and supported on carved brackets.^[1][4] It has been described as "a surprisingly complete example of a gentleman's house of the early 17th century".^[1]
