Description

New House Malting and No 3 Malting at The Maltings, located down the yard south of the mill in Stanstead Abbots, are maltings that have been converted into flatted factories. They date from the late 18th century or early 19th century, with a taller eastern range added for French and Jupp in the late 19th century. The buildings are constructed of yellow stock brick, with white weatherboarding on timber framing and slate roofs.

The two parallel malting ranges are linked by bridges. The older western range, known as No 3 Malting, is believed to date from 1774, although it has an early 19th-century appearance. This range features an 11-bay, three-storey buttressed brick section, with a two-storey weatherboarded part raised on a brick ground floor at the northern end, and a higher brick kiln with a ridge cowl at the southern end. Each bay has small windows with segmental arches. Inside, there are timber beams and cast iron columns.

The eastern range, known as New House Malting, is said to have been built in 1896. It is three storeys high with nine bays, featuring a heavily buttressed middle section with small windows that have lighter yellow segmental gauged arches. This range rises to five storeys at the northern end, where the roof ridge runs east-west, and it has a large square kiln of equal height with a pyramid roof attached at the northern end, along with two tall kilns with ridge cowls at the southern end.
