About

Old Moat is a residential area in south Manchester, characterised by a mix of interwar and post-war housing, primarily semi-detached and terraced homes. The ward is bordered by Princess Parkway to the west and contains several local parks, including the expansive grounds of the former Hough End Hall. Its street pattern is largely defined by the circular routes of the surrounding council estates, creating a distinct neighbourhood feel away from main thoroughfares.

The area is served by local shopping parades on Mauldeth Road and Yew Tree Road, providing essential amenities. A notable community landmark is the modern St. Cuthbert's Church building, which serves as a local hub. The presence of the large Hough End playing fields offers significant green space for sports and recreation, contrasting with the dense housing that defines much of the ward's built environment.
