The Malthouse

The Malthouse is a late 17th century building, possibly early 18th century, that has been divided into dwellings and altered in the 20th century. It features a timber frame with painted brick infill and lower wall sections, topped with a tiled roof that has an end stack and two ridge stacks. The building faces the lane with its principal part rising three storeys. It has square framing of light scantling and a six-panel height above the ground floor, which is made of brickwork. There are four evenly spaced windows on the second floor and additional windows on the first floor above the ground-floor windows, all fitted with 20th-century casements. A 20th-century flat-roofed porch is located at the centre entrance, with a gabled hood over another entrance on the left end. Attached to the left-hand end is a lower two-storey wing with two windows, designed in a similar style. The light framing suggests a late date, indicating that the brick ground floor could be contemporary, and the building was likely once weatherboarded.
