Malt-House Approximately 10 Metres To North-East Of Red Abbey

This malt-house, located approximately 10 metres to the north-east of Red Abbey, likely dates from the early 19th century. It is constructed from coursed Alberbury breccia and red sandstone rubble, with some red brick dressings. The roof is a combination of slate and corrugated iron, with a plain tile roof over the wing. The building has an L-plan shape and features a dentil brick eaves cornice.

It stands three storeys tall, with a two-storey wing. The north-east front includes four second-floor two-light wooden windows with diamond mullions, and two first-floor two-light segmental-headed windows with diamond mullions, alongside two narrow vents on the right, one of which is blocked. The central ground-floor has a segmental-headed boarded opening flanked by boarded doors, with the left door featuring a segmental head.

On the right-hand return front, there are eight stone steps leading up to a first-floor boarded door, with a boarded second-floor loft door above that includes a hoist. The rear features five narrow vents on the first floor, all blocked except for one. There is also a segmental-headed boarded door in the return front of the rear wing, which has a slate-roofed porch in the angle.

Inside, the ground floor of the rear wing contains a drying kiln supported by two central brick piers and rendered vaults. This malt-house is noted for its unaltered condition and group value.
