Description
The building known as the Maltings at Towngate House Farm is a former maltings that has been converted into a store. It dates from the late 18th century and has undergone minor alterations in the 20th century. The structure is made of coursed limestone rubble, featuring ashlar quoins and dressings, and is topped with a Collyweston slate roof. It has an L-plan layout, with the oast house positioned at one end and at right angles to the main range.
The building is two storeys high plus attics and has a five-bay front. The entrance features a single planked door set beneath a timber lintel, with three two-light casements to the right. The oast house has a single planked doorway and a narrow blocked light. On the first floor, there are three two-light casements and a 20th-century opening leading to the oast house. All openings are adorned with flat stone arches that include narrow key stones. At the eaves level, there are three hipped dormer windows and an additional doorway.
Inside, the oast house retains its shaped roof, while the maltings has a heavy oak floor in the attic. John Goodale, who constructed the adjacent house, was identified as a maltster in White's 1856 Directory.
