Acacia House

Acacia House is likely a former maltster's house, now used as a residence, dating from the early 19th century. It is constructed of red brick set on a coursed rubblestone plinth and features a hipped slate roof. The building has two storeys and is characterized by deep bracketed eaves and off-centre brick ridge stacks located to the north and south.

The east front of the house is positioned at right angles to the road and includes four windows with 16-pane glazing bar sashes that have gauged brick heads. The ground-floor windows are adorned with architraves and bracketed cills, while the first-floor windows above feature bracketed blind boxes decorated with ceramic tiles and cast iron window boxes. Between the first and second windows from the left, there are a pair of French casements that also have an architrave, a bracketed blind box with ceramic-tile decoration, and cast iron cresting. The entrance is an off-centre six-panelled door to the right, with the lower two panels flush and the top panels raised and fielded. It is topped by a radial fanlight and has panelled reveals and soffit. The doorcase consists of convex reeded pilasters with paterae above and a bracketed open triangular pediment.

On the left-hand return front, there is a first-floor painted imitation glazing bar sash, a basement with a segmental-headed boarded window to the right, and a boarded door to the left. There is also a slightly later two-storey addition to the south, which has a hipped roof with deep bracketed eaves and an integral brick lateral stack at the rear. This addition has one bay on the front, with glazing bar sashes featuring gauged brick heads, and the ground floor window has boarded shutters. To the right, there is a segmental-headed boarded basement door with a window to the left.

At the rear, the house has four first-floor windows and two ground-floor windows, with the right ground-floor window having raised and fielded panelled shutters. There is some evidence of refenestration, indicated by straight joints. The central six-panelled door at the rear has parallel reveals, a radial fanlight, and a doorcase with panelled pilasters and tall brackets supporting a cornice. The interior has not been inspected. Acacia House, along with the former malt-house to the west, represents a complete example of a small rural maltings.
