Description
The Malt Cottage, dating from the later 18th century, is comprised of two cottages originally built as three. The cottages are white-washed and rendered, with black-painted stone dressings. They have a Kerridge stone-slate roof and three rendered chimneys. The cottages sit at a slight angle.
The building is two storeys high, with a basement. The ground floor has three-light, horizontal sliding sash windows with glazing bars, set beneath cambered, rusticated stone heads. Similar heads feature above 20th-century board doors, which are accessed via stone steps and iron banisters. Most windows to the sides and rear have been altered in the 20th century.
