The Malt House

The Malt House is a Grade II listed hotel located on Oldham Road in Sowerby Bridge, dating from the mid-18th century. Originally known as the Kings Arms, it features thin coursed hammer dressed stone with ashlar quoins and a stone slate roof. The building has three storeys and a symmetrical three-bay facade. Each floor has two-light sashed windows with plain stone surrounds and projecting sills. The entrance includes a doorway with an architrave, entablature, and a triangular pediment above the door, flanked by single light windows. All windows have altered glazing. At the rear, there are two bays of four-light flat faced mullioned windows on each floor, along with a tall thin stair window made up of four vertical lights, situated above a central doorway with monolithic jambs. The building is capped by tall well-dressed gable stacks.
