The Malt House

The Malt House is a former malthouse that has been converted into a dwelling. It was built around 1705 by Thomas Wallis and later transformed into a cottage around 1860. The building is primarily constructed of red brick and features a tiled conical roof topped with a stack of grouped diagonal shafts on a square base. It has a square plan and consists of two storeys plus an attic, with a small dormer on the south side. The east and west sides have plastered gables with exposed framing. On the west side, there are two three-light casement windows. The brickwork includes a carving with the date 1743 and the initials S.R., which stand for Stephen Rayner. To the west, there is an adjoining red brick wall with a dentil cornice, likely from the 19th century. On the east side, there is a wall partly made of clunch, although it has been extensively repaired.
