Description
This building is a malthouse, originally constructed in 1841, now functioning as a warehouse. It features a timber frame with sections that are weather-boarded and brick-faced. The malthouse likely dates back to the 16th or 17th century but has 20th-century windows with metal casements. It stands two storeys high with a tiled roof that is hipped at both the east and west ends. The south front includes a small gabled loft hoist at the center, and there is a conical oast house located at the north-east corner.
