Description

Malthouse Cottage and the attached maltings are a cottage dating from the 17th century, which was remodelled in the late 19th century. The building is timber framed, with some brick replacement, and the front is roughcast and painted white. It has a plain tile roof with a brick integral end stack and a ridge stack. The structure has one storey and an attic, featuring three casement windows and gabled attic dormers that break through the eaves. To the left of the centre, there is a 20th-century gabled porch with a gabled door. Attached to the left is a maltings building from the late 18th or early 19th century, which includes a brick kiln at the front with a pyramidal tiled roof and a rectangular cowl, as well as a storey that projects to the left at the rear. The maltings have irregular openings with segmental heads on both floors. The interior is believed to retain features such as the kiln and a quarry tiled floor, along with exposed timber framing of small square panels.
